[Problems of laryngeal reconstruction following perichondritis of the larynx (author's transl)].

The surgical reconstruction of the larynx following laryngeal perichondritis is an uncommonly published subject. Three cases with special problems are presented. The main points of management to be remembered are that: 1. the complete removal of all necrotic tissue is essential for the success of surgical rehabilitation; 2. the restoration of respiration, deglutition and phonation can be achieved with use of regional skin and composite skin and cartilage flaps.
