title: [Repair of deglutition troubles after partial surgery of the pharyngolarynx with injection of collage. Apropos of 9 cases].
abstract: The authors report their experience treating nine patients with swallowing disorders following partial surgery of the laryngo-pharynx. GAX collagen (Phonagel), resistant to collagenase was injected into the laryngeal structures to protect the trachea, yielding a satisfactory long term result. A description of the injection technique is given particularly with functional reconstructive laryngectomies and hemipharyngolaryngectomies. The results concerning functional improvement and weight gain are evaluated over a five month period.
