Analysing the kind of surgery according to clinical stage of the disease it was stated that the most patients with advanced tumors required reconstruction operations-125 (53.6%).

The 3 years survival rate was found in 61% of patients, 5 years in 51.6% and 10 years in 38%. The best results were found in I and II stage of clinical development, and in glottic localization. In case of recurrencies after radiotherapy the surgery was applied. These procedures elongated the survival rate of 6-10%.
