OBJECTIVES: Laryngotracheal separation is a surgical procedure used in the treatment of intractable @entity1173 . As with total laryngectomy and laryngotracheal diversion, this procedure requires postoperative pressure above the suture location to prevent leakage at the @entity254 . To date, there have been no reports regarding laryngeal separation without postoperative treatment. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a new surgical procedure for @entity1172 that is performed without a cannula and requires no postoperative treatment. METHODS: We performed the new surgical procedure in 7 @entity1 . The mucosa of the cricoid cartilage was sutured to achieve tracheal closure. The closure was covered with a musculocutaneous flap of @entity10874 muscle; gauze was then tied over the skin and a 2-0 nylon suture was used to pierce the posterior part of the cricoid cartilage. In addition, a permanent tracheostoma was constructed without a tracheal cannula. RESULTS: No @entity1 required a tracheal cannula or treatment after the operation. Additionally, @entity1174 was prevented without complications in all @entity1 . CONCLUSIONS: This new surgical procedure eliminates the need for a cannula and postoperative treatment. The effects of this method in terms of @entity1173 prevention are comparable to those of other surgical techniques.
