Abstrakt: The postcricoid cancers, with or without radiotherapy, can be tackled better with multidisciplinary approach by total laryngopharyngo-oesophagectomy with pharyngogastric anastomosis by transthoracotomy route from an oncological point of view. In our series, though small, the morbidity was much less and the mortality was nil compared to the extrathoracic approach. The speech rehabilitation was easily attained by tracheo-gastric puncture and a voice-prosthesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
