Voice Box Cancer (Larynx Cancer)

Laryngeal cancer surgery for voice preservation

Laryngeal cancer affects the vocal cords and surrounding structures, often leading to voice changes, difficulty swallowing, and breathing issues. Surgical options include partial laryngectomy, preserving speech function, or total laryngectomy, requiring an alternative method of communication. The approach depends on the stage and location of the tumour. Laser surgery or robotic-assisted techniques (Transoral Robotic Surgery – TORS) may be used for early-stage cancers, minimising damage to surrounding tissues. 

For advanced cases, reconstructive techniques help restore airway function. Postoperative rehabilitation includes speech therapy, with voice prostheses or electronic devices enabling communication when the vocal cords are removed. Regular oncological follow-up ensures early detection of recurrence, optimising long-term prognosis.
