Abstract
A reconstruction technique for the larynx after removal of a malignant tumor must be reliable from a reconstructive viewpoint, must lead to predictable and good functional results, and may not interfere with the oncological safety of the surgical treatment. The tracheal autotransplantation technique was modified in an attempt to improve the reliability of the procedure from an oncological viewpoint. After 38 patients, the reconstructive concept was modified in 2001. Attempts were made to improve the initial concept (Table 5.1).
