ABSTRACT:
A method of surgical vocal rehabilitation consists in cutting through the skin and soft tissues of the ventral neck surface, cutting the larynx, using an oblique incision, apart from the trachea with one of its cartilaginous semiring, and cutting the cartilaginous semiring off the larynx. Then the larynx is severed, the esophagus is separated from the trachea, the ventral and dorsal walls of the esophagus and trachea, respectively, are dissected to establish openings, the convex outer surface of the cartilaginous semiring is smeared with a medical adhesive, whereupon the semiring is placed onto the ventral surface of the esophagus above the opening and is fixed with sutures. Next the concave inner surface of the cartilaginous semiring round the edge of the opening in the ventral esophageal surface is smeared with a medical adhesive, and the inner surface of the semiring is stuck together with the dorsal tracheal surface. Finally, the trachea is stitched together with the skin of the ventral neck surface to establish a tracheostoma.
