[Reconstruction of larynx with epiglottis and strip muscular flap after extended partial laryngectomy with T3 category].
Fourty patients with T3 glottic cancer were treated by extended partial laryngectomy with reservation of epiglottis and posterior part of thyroid cartilage. The operative defect was covered by bilateral strip muscular flap to reconstruct the sphincter function of the glottis. The 3-year survival rate was 82.5% (32/40) and 5-year survival rate 72.9%(27/37). The function of the reconstructed laryngx was satisfactory. The authors believe that the strip muscular flap is a good material for the reconstruction of the new laryngx because of its good blood supply and wide-range repairing capability.
