We report the use of endoscopic laser excision of a marginal laryngeal tumor, radical neck dissection, and laterofixation of a paralyzed vocal cord in a 66-year-old man who had an early-stage right supraglottic endolaryngeal tumor and ipsilateral neck metastasis. He had a left vocal cord paralysis after a left pneumonectomy that was performed 5 years previously. The primary laryngeal tumor was excised by endoscopic CO2 laser resection, and a simultaneous radical neck dissection was carried out. Postoperatively, severe inspiratory dyspnea developed because of the surgical intervention on the right side causing moderate laryngeal edema and limited movement of the right vocal cord in addition to the paralyzed left side. An endolaryngeal laterofixation of the paralyzed left vocal cord was performed to provide the patient with an adequate airway instead of tracheostomy. This patient had a 2 years' follow-up without recurrence of tumor. In the meantime movement of the right vocal cord has returned, so that the patient's voice was socially acceptable and he has a functioning larynx.
