    Objectives. Oncological and functional results of open conservation surgery for hypopharyngeal cancer have beendesired. Methods.\nWe performed a chart review of 33 patients with hypopharyngeal cancer who underwent open conservation surgery. Oncological\nand functional results were evaluated in surgery with primary closure (Group A) and surgery with reconstruction (Group B).\nPostoperative functions were evaluated by interval to resumption of oral intake, Functional Outcome Swallowing Scale (FOSS) and\nCommunication Scale (CS). Results. Five-year disease-specific and overall cumulative survival rates by Kaplan-Meier method for\nall cases were 95.7% and 82.3%, respectively. Duration from surgery to full oral intake was 12 days inGroup A and 14 days inGroup\nB. FOSS rates were 83.3 in Group A and 95.5 in Group B. CS was 0 in both groups. Conclusion. Oncological and functional results\nof open conservation surgery were comparable to those with transoral surgery and chemo/radiotherapy. Our technique represents\na reliable treatment for hypopharyngeal cancer.
