[Reconstructive surgery in post-traumatic lesions of the thyreohyoid membrane]

A new method of surgical intervention to treat problems in the dividing function of the larynx is described. The de novo produced anastomosis between the hyoid bone and the larynx is supported by a muscular-fascial graft formed from the superior laryngeal muscles. This operation has been successfully performed in three patients with severe lesions of the thyrohyoid membrane.
