Abstract
Total laryngectomy remains the gold standard for advanced laryngeal cancer to which all other treatments must be compared, benefiting from over 150 years of technical advancements since first performed by Theodor Billroth in 1873. The treatment paradigm has evolved with advances in both nonsurgical and surgical laryngeal preservation. The tenets of treatment, weighing oncologic outcome with functional and quality of life outcomes, have remained the same. This article reviews the history of laryngectomy, progression of surgical techniques, concurrent advancements in vocal rehabilitation, and role of complete and partial laryngectomy procedures in the current era.
