The results of the surgical treatment of the larynx cancer (glottic-supraglottic) by supracricoid laryngectomy with CHP and CHEP type of reconstruction were presented. Material consists of 160 cases (88 after CHP and 72 after CHEP). 5 years survival rate was obtained in over 71% of cases in all material. Decannulation was possible in 126 (79%) patients. Feeding tube removal before 4 weeks after operation was done in 139 (87%) cases. In subjective assessment all patients had social efficient speech. Favourable results of the treatment encourage wider application of supracricoid laryngectomy.
