Surgical management of hypopharyngeal cancer (narrative review)

Abstract
Surgical resection is one of the standard treatment options for cancer of the larynx, regardless of whether it is combined with postoperative radiotherapy. Reconstruction of the postoperative defect often requires after removal of the tumor. The type of surgery and the reconstructive strategy (selecting recovery methods) depend on the extent of the lesion and the number of departments involved. This article presents a review of the literature on the treatment of cancer of the larynx and the choice of optimal surgical tactics.
