title: [Near total laryngectomy with internal vocal shunt by Pearson].
abstract: First experience in near total laryngectomy with internal vocal shunt was shown. The applications and surgical technique of this method was described. The function of the vocal shunt in terms of swallowing, deglutition and phonation using endoscopic and radiological examination was presented. Based on previous papers the alternative methods of vocal surgical rehabilitation after laryngectomy was compared. We have emphasized advantage of this operation in selective cases of the laryngeal carcinoma and/or carcinoma of the piriformis sinus as well.
