    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Management of laryngeal carcinoma located at the anterior commissure remains controversial. Local control rates with radiotherapy or surgery are not as good as those seen after treatment of midcord lesions. The vertical partial laryngectomy with epiglottic reconstruction (VPLER) may be a more successful approach to such lesions. The charts of all patients treated for larynx carcinoma between 1991 and 1996 at the authors’ institutions were reviewed to identify those patients treated with VPLER as described by Sedlacek in 1965, Kambic in 1976 and Tucker in 1979. Indications for performing surgery and outcome data of patients were collected and analyzed according to the indications for surgery, surgical technique, perioperative complications, oncological outcomes and functional results. Twelve patients were identified that had been treated with VPLER. Indications for surgery included five patients with local recurrences following endoscopic laser partial laryngectomies, four cases with previously untreated primary tumors at the anterior commissure (T2 N0–2 M0), two with local recurrences following radiotherapy, and one with recurrence following frontolateral partial laryngectomy. There were no postoperative complications except for one laryngocutaneous fistula that required secondary repair. All patients were able to swallow at the tenth postoperative day. All had their tracheostomies closed after completion of wound healing, (a mean of 17 days after surgery). Phonatory results were usually poor. Two local recurrences occurred during the follow-up period. However, both patients were salvaged with total laryngectomies and have since been free from disease. All other patients are alive and well. Our findings show that VPLER is an effective surgical approach for carcinoma at the anterior commissure of the larynx that cannot be adequately managed with transoral laser surgery or simple frontolateral partial laryngectomy. This study demonstrates that the procedure can be successfully applied to the treatment of local recurrences following initial raditherapy or surgery. No major complications occurred in our study.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Hintergrund: Karzinome der vorderen Kommissur sind eine Schwachstelle der üblichen kehlkopferhaltenden Therapieverfahren. Die rekonstruktive Kehlkopfteilresektion nach Sedlacek-Kambic-Tucker erlaubt eine besonders weite Resektion des vorderen Schildknorpels und der anterioren Glottis. Indikationen, Technik und Ergebnisse werden am Krankengut der Kölner und Innsbrucker Klinik dargestellt. Methode: Es wurden die Akten aller Patienten retrospektiv ausgewertet, die zwischen 1991 und 1996 wegen eines Larynxkarzinoms operiert wurden. Ergebnisse: Bei 12 von 543 Patienten mit Larynxkarzinomen erfolgte eine rekonstruktive Kehlkopfteilresektion nach Sedlacek-Kambic-Tucker. Bis auf eine Fistelbildung traten keine Komplikationen auf. Bei einer mittleren, peroralen Ernährung ab dem 10. postoperativen Tag konnten alle Tracheostomien im Mittel am 17. postoperativen Tag verschlossen werden. Chronische Aspirationen oder Stenosen wurden nicht beobachtet. Die stimmlichen Ergebnisse sind aufgrund des ungenügenden Glottisschlusses und der unphysiologischen Konfiguration der rekonstruierten vorderen Kommissur schlecht. Schlußfolgerung: Die rekonstruktive Kehlkopfteilresektion nach Sedlacek-Kambic-Tucker hat eine sehr enge Indikationsstellung, ermöglicht aber eine chirurgisch sichere, radikale Resektion des vorderen Kehlkopfs, insbesondere auch bei Rezidivkarzinomen, mit onkologisch guten und funktionell zufriedenstellenden Ergebnissen.
