Abstract
AbstractPatients with carcinoma of the tongue including the base of the tongue who underwent total glossectomy in a period of just over ten years since January 1979 have been reviewed. Total glossectomy may be indicated as salvage surgery or as a primary procedure. The larynx may be preserved or may have to be sacrificed depending upon the site of the lesion. When the larynx is preserved the use of laryngeal suspension facilitates early rehabilitation and preserves the quality of life to a large extent. Cricopharyngeal myotomy seems unnecessary.
