Abstract

Abstract A study of 26 cases of advanced carcinoma of the tongue treated by radical total glossectomy is presented. The selection of cases, the operative technique and the postoperative management are described. As seen from the follow-up of this series this procedure is able to effect a cure in some cases and give good palliation in the majority of cases of localized advanced carcinoma of the tongue. None of our patients needed postoperative laryngectomy for the complication of aspiration pneumonia.
