  • Title: [Compound grafts in laryngeal surgery (author's transl)].
    Author: Fontanel JP, Beauvillain de Montreuil C, Sénéchal G.
    Journal: Ann Otolaryngol Chir Cervicofac; 1978; 95(10-11):713-7. PubMed ID: 373572.
    Abstract:
    Compound grafts were used during surgery for enlarging the larynx and after cordectomy.--During operations for re-establishment of laryngeal permeability, a compound graft taken from the auricle of the ear ensures rapid cicatrization of excellent quality. This technique was used in 26 patients and gave very good results in 25 of them.--After cordectomy, a perichondro-cutaneous graft from the auricle ensures optimal reconstruction of the anatomy of the larynx. Voice re-education would appear, however, to be necessary in many cases. Surgery of this type appears to be of great value, even when excision is made for cancer of the vocal cord, which was the case in 8 of our 16 patients.
