[Investigative findings on the reconstruction with tissue materials after partial laryngectomy].
Between 1987 and 1999--1289 patients were treated by surgery in the Department of Otolaryngology and Laryngologic Oncology PAM in Szczecin due to the cancer of the larynx. In this group total, eventual subtotal excision of the larynx was carried out in 801 cases. In 154 cases the phonation way was restored. In this study the remaining group of 502 patients was analysed, which underwent partial aiming at restoration of all basic functions of the larynx. In the mentioned group partial vertical laryngectomy was done in 176 cases, and partial horizontal laryngectomy in 326 cases. Larynx reconstruction with the use of tissue materials was carried out in 59 cases after vertical and in 88 cases after horizontal laryngectomy. Shortcomings and advantages of the method of various tissue application were discussed (cartilage of epiglottis, vasculary based pedicle flap of thyroid gland, submaxillary salivary gland, strap muscles among others were used).
