TLM is a reliable modality to treat early and select cases of moderately advanced glottic cancer with good final laryngeal preservation rate. Our study found that independent factors of local recurrence included arytenoid cartilage invasion, difficult laryngeal exposure, previous microlaryngoscopic surgery, positive surgical margin and endophytic tumors. These findings may help to follow-up glottic cancer patients after TLM.
