Abstract
Usually, the primary treatments of traumatic laryngeal injuries including scar tissue removal by median laryngotomy, transposition of mucosa, T-tube placement, and cartilage graft require quite complicated surgical techniques or repeated surgeries. We applied techniques of a vertical partial laryngectomy with an S-shaped anterior cervical incision used for laryngeal cancer treatment to traumatic laryngeal injuries in adults, and formed laryngeal fistula. These procedures enable us to preserve the voice function and to close the trachea stoma. This surgical method is an effective tool for traumatic laryngeal injuries in adults as we can reconstruct the inner surface of the larynx easily and consistently.
