From Nov. 1988 through Apr. 1994, 78 cases with laryngocarcinoma underwent laryngectomy and laryngeal reconstruction by the use of transfered cervical skin. Three to six months after operation, all patients were subjected to direct or indirect laryngoscope. It was found that the keratinized of layer of the transfered skin tended to be thining out, and that hair had grown in one case. With the followup ranging from 3 months to 5 years,the results were good. All patients following the reconstruction of larynx could phonate, swallow and breath. Postoperatively, 32 patients were alive for 3 years, 2 patients died from recurrence of laryngocarcinoma. The complications included laryngeal fistula in 6 cases and laryngostenosis in 2 cases. The cause as well as the prevention of complications were discussed. It was suggested that thetransfer of cervical flap was feasible for laryngeal reconstruction.
