Tracheal Autotransplantation: A Reliable Reconstructive Technique for Extended Hemilaryngectomy Defects

Objectives: Current surgical treatment for a glottic cancer with significant subglottic extension is a total laryngectomy. The objective of this study was to expand laryngeal conservation procedures by using a reconstructive technique that allows for the repair of hemicricolaryngectomy defects.
