[Surgical aspects of recovery of vocal function after radical removal of the larynx in cancer].

The paper is devoted to surgical procedures aimed at voice reestablishment in patients without larynx removed for cancer. Original surgical techniques practiced by the authors are proposed: tracheoesophageal shunt with creation of the defense valve from the esophageal mucosa, esophagus and lower lip mucomuscular graft, bypass repair. The procedures were used in 79 patients with removed cancer-affected larynx. Vocal function recovery occurred in 90%, the defense function restored in 80% of the patients treated.
