A technique to extirpate retro-cricoid carcinomas maintaining laryngeal and hypopharyngeal functions is exposed. The lateral incision is specially the author's method. Single or bilateral ganglionar neck dissection. Extirpation of the outer margin of the thyroid wing of the side upon which the operation is practised; extirpation of the carcinoma; closing of the surface by means of the surrounding mucosa; closing of the pharynx and soft tissue. The author has been employing this technique for almost fifteen years.
