Mostly (60%) from poor socioeconomic group. 70% cases were supraglottic and 30% cases were glottic carcinoma. Nature of lesion was exophytic 71.43% and ulcerative 28.57%. 22.86% had neck node metastasis. Histopathologically 60% were moderately differentiated and grade II squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). In the total laryngectomy patient pharyngocuteneous fistula (30%), wound infection (10%), haematoma (10%), stomal recurrence (10%), stenosis is tracheostomy (10%), recurrent chest infection (10%) and pharyngeal stenosis (10%) were the morbidities.
