[Pharyngolaryngectomy without nasogastric feeding tube nor tracheal cannula (author's transl)].

Thirty three patients have been operated with total laryngectomy (LT) or pharyngolaryngectomy (PLT) with or without Zadical neck dissection, without nasogastric feeding to be and in five cases without tracheal cannula (but connection of a large tracheostomy). The authors demonstrated that there is no increasement of pharyngeal fistua. The beginning of oral alimentation has been made between the 4th and the 6th postoperative day. Such a procedure is more comfortable for the patients and decrease the hospitalisation duration.
