Group A (74.32 +/- 23.82; 80.86 +/- 20.26) was better than group B (40.27 +/- 25.76; 69.59 +/- 27.09) in speech and appearance (P < 0.001; P < 0.05); but group B (92.57 +/- 13.00) was superior to group A (83.02 +/- 20.47) in pain (P < 0.01). Six factors including stage, operative, modality, complication, postoperative radiotherapy or chemotherapy, with whom to live, chronic disease before or after operation were related to postlaryngectomy QOL.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Partial laryngectomy is superior to total laryngectomy in speech, appearance and overall QOL.
