Abstract
Twenty-six cases of multiple laryngeal papillomatosis were treated by a newly developed grafting technique. The larynx was opened in the midline under local anesthesia and the tumor mass was surgically resected. Mucous membrane along with the lamina propria was taken from the patient''s upper jaw and grafted over the wound, with the help of plain catgut on an atraumatic needle. Although the patients were observed for only 5 yr, no recurrence was seen and good vocal cord function has remained.
