Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To restore the laryngeal function of laryngectomee. METHODS: From 1990 to 1999, laryngeal reconstructions were performed in 34 cases of laryngectomee. The patients were 33 male, and one female. The age range was 27 to 77 years, with a mean age of 56.6. Thirty-three cases were total laryngectomized, one case due to laryngeal injury. The duration of alaryngeal was 2-72 months, with a mean of 18 months. The characteristic of this operation is that a cervical myocutaneous flap was used to link the pharynx and trachea, to act as an epiglottis. RESULTS: Speech function in all patients was good. One case can breathe through the larynx after decannulation and 13 cases can breath through the larynx in daytime. CONCLUSION: Laryngeal reconstruction for laryngectomee is applicable in laryngeal operation.
