[Value of coral implant in the treatment of functional failure after subtotal laryngectomy with crico-hyoid fixation].
Subtotal laryngectomy with CHP have prolongated post operative care because aspiration. In 16% of cases a new surgical procedure is necessary. The authors have used a implant of madreporic coral placed in the base of the tongue just behind the hyoid bone to achieve a total closure of the larynx during swallowing. This operation has stopped aspiration in 2 cases very quickly.
