Abstract

The authors present a retrospective study on 84 cases with laryngo-pharyngo-esophageal stenosis treated in ENT Department of "Sf. Spiridon" Emergency Clinical Hospital from Iaşi, over 25 years, between 1980-2005 which were solved by surgical treatment. In order to solve the different types of the superior laryngeal stenosis and the hypo-pharynx, there have been used deltoid-pectoralis cutaneous flaps. In all these cases, the anatomical integrity of the recurrent nerve and his branches was preserved in order to obtain a good respiratory function.
