[Anterior frontal laryngectomy without epiglottoplasty or modified Tucker's technique. Proposal for a surgical simplification].
By replacing epiglottic reconstruction with a muscular translation, we attempted to simplify the near total laryngectomy with epiglottic reconstruction and improve swallowing disorders. Ten operated patients were followed up for at least 9 to 22 months. We obtained 9 good results and 1 failure. The long terms results have to be evaluated to assess risk of laryngeal stenosis.
