[Anterior reconstructive glottecomy].
Shallow lesions of the glottis spreading to both sides of the middle line (T1b) have special characteristics under the viewpoint of its resection, because of the neighbourhood of the anterior commissure. Frontal and frontolateral techniques require a reconstructive step in order to avoid synechiae. The AA. report 35 cases with glottis reconstruction following several procedures: skin pedicled flap or epiglottoplasty. As the results almost the totality of the laryngectomees were "cured" after 5 years follow-up, and a high percentage of them free of tracheostomy tube.
