The Functional & Quality of Life Outcomes of Total Glossectomy with Laryngeal Preservation

The tongue is an essential organ for human interaction, communication and survival. To date, there is a paucity of objective functional, patient reported, or quality of life outcomes of patients undergoing a total glossectomy with preservation of the larynx (TGLP).
