[Modification of surgical reconstruction of the glottis]

A personal modification to Staffieri's technique is presented. This change respects the principles of the operation but is different on the practical performance in order to avoid the incontinence of the neo-glottis. A partial decartilagination of the tracheal or crico-tracheal stump over the definitive tracheostome is performed, so that it can be funnel shaped and idoneus to the end to lateral anastomosis with the mucous membrane of the ipopharinx.
