title: Wound healing by primary intention in the larynx.
abstract: In this article, I have attempted to bring forward well known and widely accepted principles of wound healing and to show how they are pertinent to the repair of severe acute and chronic crush injuries of the larynx. The process has brought some time honored practices into question and forced a search for new, more effective ones.
