Objective:
To investigate the effect of the anteroposterior cricoid split on cartilage growth.
Method:
The rabbits were killed 8 months after the surgery of anteroposterior cricoid split. The larynxes were harvested and the cross-sectional area of the cricoid cartilage were calculated.
Result:
There was no significant difference in the cross-sectional area of the cricoid cartilage of these three groups.
Conclusion:
The anteroposterior cricoid split might have no adverse effect on subsequent growth of cricoid cartilage.
