Laryngeal reconstruction by free flap transfer. 1976

K Nagahara, and A Hirose, and H Iwai

In the two cases reported herein, a laryngeal cavity was successfully reconstructed with a free flap, using microvascular anastomoses. The revascularized free flap contributed significantly to the maintenance of a patent airway and to the reproduction of an appreciable voice. Our experiences with these laryngeal reconstructions encourage us to try to expand the application of free flaps for reconstructions after head and neck cancer surgery.
