This surgery removes a tumor from the larynx, commonly known as the voice box, through an incision made directly into the neck and the larynx itself. It gives the surgeon direct access to remove a growth that cannot be reached or fully removed using a scope alone. It is a more invasive approach reserved for tumors that need open surgical access.
