Figures

Fig. 1.
Fig. 1.. Pre-operative CT: patient with laryngeal cancer (indication to SCLCHEP) and DISH syndrome. Treatment of this latter condition takes place at the same time as the laryngeal cancer operation.
Fig. 2.
Fig. 2.. CAU: Current concept. Articular, neuromuscular, vascular and mucosal integrity of the cricoarytenoid complex is essential. The continuity of the cricoid cartilage is not necessary.
Fig. 3.
Fig. 3.. Diagram of the neoglottis. The front half comprises the base of the tongue, the rear half by at least one efficacious CAU.
Fig. 4.
Fig. 4.. Dynamics of the neoglottis in the 3 fundamental functions. The arytenoid excursions (“le rideau de scène”) are shown on the right hand side. The dynamics of the neoglottis on the vertical plane: retropulsion of the base of the tongue and “le salut aryténoïdienne” is shown on the left.
