Abstract:
Reconstructive laryngectomy, the aim of which is to leave the patient without a tracheostoma, thus preserving the normal pneumophonic function relative to vocal articulation, is a link between the various techniques suggested for conservative laryngeal surgery and classic total laryngectomy. The aim of this technique is to restore continuity to the airways, so that the patient is able to breathe naturally and subsequently can speak without having to resort to the use of esophageal voice.
