Abstract
Traditional open surgical approaches to large tumors of the oropharynx carry higher complication rates than more recent advanced transoral approaches. However, they can still be utilized with excellent long-term functional results in certain cases of advance oropharyngeal cancers not amenable to transoral approaches. With careful reconstruction of oropharyngeal defects, over 90% of patients can achieve a completely oral diet.
