Pharyngectomy is a surgical procedure that involves removing (resection) part of the throat. This procedure may be performed for a variety of reasons, such as a tumor of the pharynx, cancer of the pharynx, trauma, or other conditions that can cause damage to the tissues of the pharynx.

Pharyngectomy can be performed either partially or completely, depending on the extent of the disease and the degree of damage to the pharyngeal tissue. In a partial pharyngectomy, only part of the pharynx is removed, while in a complete pharyngectomy, the entire pharynx is removed.
