title: Correction of late glottic insufficiency.
abstract: Preservation of respiration, deglutition, and phonation, as well as tumor ablation, is the objective of conservation surgery of the larynx. Immediate reconstruction may fail, leading to aspiration and aphonia. Five extralaryngeal techniques for correction of late glottic insufficiency are described.
