Infrahyoid Myocutaneous Flaps with Common Wall of Hypopharyngeal and Esophageal Serosas for Voice Rehabilitation After Total Laryngectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Patients who undergo total laryngectomy lose the voice function permanently. It is important to reconstruct the voice function of the patients after total laryngectomy.

Objective

To explore a novel method for voice rehabilitation by suturing infrahyoid myocutaneous flaps to the hypopharyngeal and esophageal serosas after total laryngectomy and investigate its clinical efficacy.

Design

Clinical study (retrospective study).

Participants

Twenty patients with advanced laryngocarcinoma who underwent total laryngectomy.

Methods

Following total laryngectomy, the pharyngeal cavity was formed via layer-by-layer suturing, and the infrahyoid myocutaneous flap was sutured to the common wall of hypopharyngeal and esophageal serosas to create a voice tube.<
