title: [Valve-neoglottis by placing ear cartilage and mucosa on inverted lateral tracheal wall after liquid insufficiency of a Staffieri fistula (author's transl)].
abstract: Six month after laryngectomy with a neoglottis phonatoria (Staffieri) one patient developed increasing trouble when swallowing liquids. When the patient was operated on again, the upper end of the trachea was closed up to a small anterior opening, by turning the lateral parts of the trachea into the lumen with dexon sutures. On this material cartilage from the ear was transplanted (because of the missing epiglottis) and covered with a free transplant of mucosa from the pharynx underneath the Staffieri fistula. After this second stage operation the patient had no more trouble when swallowing liquids and he developed again a good voice.
