[Subtotal hemilaryngectomy].

The technique of subtotal hemilaryngectomy developed by the author is described. It consists of: 1. Performing a lymph node excision as wide and extensive as necessary. 2. Removal of half (in a sagittal sense) of the thyroid and arytenoid, if necessary, from the side of the lesion. 3. Complete preservation of the cricoid cartilage. 4. Immediate closure of the larynx defect with pre-laryngeal musculature.
