Application of combined sternohyoid muscle flap for laryngeal fuctional reconstruction / 重庆医科大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective:To assess the appliance value of combined sternohyoid muscle flap in laryngeal funtion reconstruction after partial laryngectomy.Methods:46 patients who underwent partial laryngectomy were reviewed.The laryngeal function was reconstructed using combined sternohyoid muscle flap.Results:All the patients rehabilitated deglutition in 10 to 14 days after surgery.Postoperative decannulation rate is 97.83%.functions of respiration,deglutition and phonation are good.5-year survival rate was 86.96%(40/46).Conclusion:Combined sternohyoid muscle flap is a ideal material for laryngeal fuctional reconstruction after partial laryngectomy.
