[Laryngeal release for tracheal resection (author's transl)]. 1978

W Maassen

Mobilization of the larynx resulting in a 2 to 2.5 cm gain of length can be used in tracheal resection as an alternative to more extensive procedures within the thorax with their specific complications. In the method of Dedo and Fishman the cranial insertions of the thyrohyoid muscle are resected, the thyrohyoid membrane is divided and the two horns of the thyrohyoid cartilage are cut. Difficulties in swallowing may persist for long periods of time but usually can be overcome. In the suprahyoideal method of Montgomery the cranial muscle-insertions at the hyoid are divided and the hyoid bone is transsected leaving the small and large horns. Disturbances of swallowing are not to be expected with this method. Likewise postoperative tube-feeding is not required. The suprahyoid method probably is to be preferred.
