title: [Our results with partial vertical laryngectomies].
abstract: The method of covering a broad endolaryngeal defect following extensive partial surgery of the larynx by means of the fascia of the sternohyoid muscle is presented. Of 71 cases of vertical and combined vertical and horizontal partial laryngectomy recurrence was seen in 15 cases, nine of them died. The fascia showed resistance to all postoperative complications and there was not a single case of rejection. In only 4 cases it was not possible to carry out decannulation because of postirradiation complications in the form of oedema, stenosis or fixation of the cricoarythenoid joint.
