Seven patients with advanced carcinoma of the tongue (T4) were treated with total glossectomy and laryngectomy, neck dissection (radical-functional or radical-traditional) and reconstruction with the pectoralis major myocutaneous flap. The AA. comment the surgical technique, the pros and the cons of the indications, the justification, the objectives and the consequences.
Surgical treatment for tumors of the tongue and floor of the oral cavity often results in impaired swallowing and speech function. A method is described to improve oral functions after total glossectomy by constructing a removable tongue prosthesis in a multidisciplinary clinical practice.
The high resolution frequency analyzer is used for the study of the vocal quality after partial laryngectomy. The post-operative plot after speech therapy is of good quality when respecting one vocal fold. On the contrary, the heard vocal sound does not correspond to the harmonics of the fundamental frequency but to intense noise from irregular vibrations of the residual laryngeal mucosa (ventricular folds, arytenoids). High resolution frequency analysis contributes to the follow-up of the partial laryngectomy.
