title: [Functional complications following supraglottal laryngectomy].
abstract: 85 patients who had undergone supraglottic laryngectomy was necessary including the removal of one arytenoid cartilage or one vocal cord which was replaced by a thyroid cartilage graft. The latter group had greater difficulty in learning to swallow, a longer stay in hospital, more deaths as a result of lung infection, and an increased incidence of later lung infection.
