Regional skin flaps in partial laryngectomy.
The use of regional neck flaps for rehabilitation has permitted an extension of operations on the glottis.  The resection may include both vocal cords, both ventricular bands, one arytenoid and slight subglottic extension in a one- or two-stage technique.  The resultant voice is low pitched, soft and has limited range.  The cure rate was 85 percent.
