With advanced head and neck surgical infrastructure, Fortis Malar Hospital offers Laryngectomy for patients requiring surgical treatment of selected laryngeal conditions. Established in 1989, the NABH accredited hospital is located in Chennai, India, and has 180 beds.

Depending on the disease, surgery may involve removal of part or all of the voice box. The surgical team aims to remove the affected tissue while preserving swallowing and voice function whenever clinically possible. For total laryngectomy, patients require a permanent tracheostoma. Pre-operative assessment also includes planning for speech rehabilitation and post-operative recovery.
