SURGICAL TREATMENT APPROACHES FOR LARYNGEAL TUMORS

Abstract

Laryngeal tumors represent a major clinical challenge due to their impact on breathing, phonation, and swallowing. Surgical management remains a cornerstone of therapy, often combined with radiation and chemotherapy depending on the stage. This article reviews the current surgical approaches for laryngeal tumors, emphasizing organ-preserving techniques, oncologic outcomes, and postoperative rehabilitation. Endoscopic laser surgery, partial and total laryngectomy, and minimally invasive robotic-assisted procedures are discussed in detail.

Keywords

laryngeal tumors, laryngectomy, endoscopic laser surgery, organ preservation, robotic surgery.
