Abstract
The symposium consisted of the reports and discussions of the reconstruction of the larynx after partial or total laryngectomy and laryngeal trauma, and transplantation of the larynx.
The main subjects of the symposium included the improvement of the post-operative phonatory function and the shortening of the treatment period. The transplantation of the larynx was discussed as the promising problem in future.
As the moderator of the symposium, the author proposed the following nomenculature that the reconstruction of the larynx means the restoration of the laryngeal functions of the respiration, phonation and the sphincteric activity and the reconstruction of the glottis means only the restoration of the phonation and the sphincteric activity lowing.
