title: [Mechanical sutures in ORL cancers, value, indications, techniques and results apropos of 30 cases].
abstract: The authors report their experience in closure of the pharynx following total laryngectomy or total pharyngolaryngectomy by mean of the TA 55 instrument. The technique is described stressing the particular point of good presentation of the mucosa and the importance of the crossing of the lines of staples when two clips are used. An analysis of 30 cases studies is presented with the results as of the date of removal of the nasogastric catheter and the percentage of fistula. This technique appears to be rapid, safer than conventional methods of closure and less complications have been encountered in this series.
