title: [Partial vertical laryngectomies and reconstruction with plathysma myocutaneous flap].
abstract: The authors report on 14 patients with epidermoid carcinoma of the glottic region, classified T1, T2 and T3, operated upon by a hemilaryngectomy (9 cases) with reconstruction using a Plathysma myocutaneous flap. The oncological results over a follow-up period of 1 to 6 years and the functional results are analyzed. The authors conclude that this method does not compromise the carcinological result and provides a good functional result with low ratings for complications, with in addition an adequate support for the organ, favouring increased resections.
