Abstract
A case of non-progressive severe laryngeal incompetence is described in which, in addition to the already established operation of epiglottopexy and cricopharyngeal myotomy, a laryngeal suspension using a carbon fibre implant is performed. This provides additional protection to the laryngeal inlet, thus obviating the need for a long-term tracheostomy.Entities:
