Pr. Delaere et al., REVASCULARIZATION OF A SALVAGE SUPRAGLOTTIC LARYNGECTOMY - PRELIMINARY-REPORT, The Annals of otology, rhinology & laryngology, 104(2), 1995, pp. 127-132
After supraglottic laryngectomy, particularly if there has been a larg
e preoperative dose of radiotherapy, significant ischemia at the suspe
nsion anastomosis site may ensue. Neovascularization may play a major
role in the healing of this salvage horizontal laryngectomy anastomosi
s. We have analyzed the process of angiogenesis and neovascularization
from a fascial flap in a case of salvage supraglottic laryngectomy.
