Laryngeal cancer surgery depends on a variety of factors, including tumor location, size, extent of invasion, and overall health of the patient. Generally speaking, laryngeal cancer surgery is a more complex surgery, but the specific circumstances vary from person to person. For early laryngeal cancer (Tis, T1), surgery can usually be done by endoscopic minimally invasive surgery, such as laser surgery, electrotomy, etc. These operations are less invasive and recover faster. However, for advanced laryngeal cancer,(T2, T3, T4), surgery may require more extensive resection, including partial laryngectomy, total laryngectomy, etc. These operations involve important structures and functions of the larynx, and the surgical scope is large. After surgery, the patient's swallowing and pronunciation functions may be affected. In addition, the overall health status of the patient will also affect the choice and difficulty of surgery. If the patient has other serious diseases, such as heart disease, lung disease, etc., the risk of surgery may increase, and adequate evaluation and preparation are required before surgery. When deciding whether to perform surgery and selecting the surgical method, the doctor will consider the characteristics of the tumor and the specific conditions of the patient to formulate an individualized treatment plan. Before and after surgery, patients usually need to receive radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other comprehensive treatment to improve the treatment effect. It should be noted that for the treatment of laryngeal cancer, surgery is only part of the comprehensive treatment, postoperative care and rehabilitation are also very important. Patients and family members should actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, pay attention to postoperative diet, voice training, etc., to promote recovery and improve quality of life. If you are diagnosed with laryngeal cancer, it is recommended to consult a professional doctor in time to understand the detailed condition and treatment plan. The doctor will provide personalized advice and guidance according to your specific situation. In short, the size of laryngeal cancer surgery varies from individual to individual, and needs to be evaluated and decided according to specific circumstances. During treatment, patients and families should work closely with doctors to develop the best treatment plan.
