Abstract
• A new procedure corrects glottic incompetence in patients following extended horizontal partial laryngectomy. The procedure consists of making vertical, cartilaginous cuts to collapse one half of the cricoid cartilage to a fixed midline position. In selected patients, this procedure has been demonstrated to permit decannulation where conventional methods have failed. (Arch Otolaryngol1985;111:740-741)Keywords
