Surgery for lesions of the larynx

Surgery for lesions of the larynx, oral cavity, and pharynx is primarily performed to remove benign or malignant tumors and restore essential functions such as speech, swallowing, and breathing. The surgical approach depends on the lesion’s size, location, and histopathological characteristics. Techniques range from endoscopic and laser excision to open partial or total resections. Reconstruction may involve local or free flap grafting to maintain structural and functional integrity. Early diagnosis and multidisciplinary management are crucial for optimizing oncologic control and postoperative rehabilitation.
