AB The  use  of  cricotracheal  resection  in  the  treatment  of  cancer  is  rare  owing  to  the  rarity  of  cancers  of  the  subglottis  and  their  lack  of  confinement  to  the  larynx.  Of  the  three  subsites  of  the  larynx,  the  subglottis  is  the  origin  of  squamous  cell  carcinoma  (by  far  the  most  common  cause  of  laryngeal  cancer),  in  only  1%  to  3%  of  patients.1  Cricotracheal  resection  for  the  treatment  of  subglottic  stenosis  is  much  more  common,  and  the  surgical  techniques  used  for  treating  subglottic  stenosis  can  be  applied  to  surgical  resection  of  the  rare  neoplasm  that  remains  confined  to  the  subglottis.
