Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: RESULTS: Our patients were treated with open resection, laryngeal preservation, and postoperative radiotherapy (PORT), resulting in long-term tumor control and disease-free survival of 5 and 15 years (longest reported), respectively. CONCLUSION: One-stage diverticulectomy with or without radiotherapy is the treatment of choice and can provide long-term control and survival.
