[Laryngeal functional reconstruction with pedunculated musculocutaneous flap of platysma after partial laryngectomy].
OBJECTIVE
To explore the value of laryngeal functional reconstruction with pedunculated musculocutaneous flap of platysma after partial laryngectomy.


METHODS
Fifty-four cases with glottic carcinoma were operated by partial or enlarged partial laryngectomy, and reconstructed laryngeal function with pedunculated musculocutaneous flap of platysma.


RESULTS
All the cases regained the swallow, vocalization and breath. The rate of extubation was 100%, and the 5-year survival rate was 92.59%.


CONCLUSIONS
Application of pedunculated musculocutaneous flap of platysma to reconstruct laryngeal function is one of the effective method after partial laryngectomy.
