title: [External injuries of the larynx. Our experience apropos of 55 cases].
abstract: Reporting 55 cases of laryngeal trauma, the authors detail the etiologies and the lesions observed and expose their trauma management. Endoscopic results are basic in the evaluation of the gravity of the trauma. Radiological investigations, especially C.T. scan, take the second place. The use of endolaryngeal stent in the surgical treatment is as limited as possible. A precise lesional staging and a great rigour in the operative management can only guarantee the recovery of normal vocal and respiratory functions.
