Modular Approach to Open Partial Horizontal Laryngectomy: Step-by-Step Anatomic Dissection

Open partial laryngectomies still play an important role in contemporary conservative management of laryngeal cancer. A comprehensive and systematic classification of open partial horizontal laryngectomies (OPHLs) was presented by the European Laryngological Society working committee in 2014. The aim of this video is to show the main surgical steps in OPHL using a cadaveric dissection and to explain the modular approach for removal of laryngeal tumors.
