Laryngotomy

Laryngotomy is a surgical operation performed on the larynx to treat various diseases and conditions. It consists of dissecting the larynx to provide access to the internal structures and the ability to carry out the necessary manipulations.

Laryngotomy can be performed for both acute and chronic diseases of the larynx. Acute diseases such as laryngeal stenosis or inflammation of the larynx require immediate surgical intervention. Chronic diseases such as laryngeal cancer may require longer and more complex surgery.

With a laryngotomy, the surgeon makes an incision in the anterior wall of the larynx and then removes the affected tissue or performs other necessary manipulations. After surgery, the patient usually remains in the hospital for several days for observation and treatment.

One of the advantages of laryngotomy is that it allows the surgeon to gain access to the internal structures of the larynx and perform more precise and effective manipulations. In addition, this surgery can help restore voice function and improve the patient's quality of life.

However, like any other operation, laryngotomy has its risks and complications. Some of these may include bleeding, infection, damage to nearby organs and tissues, and post-operative pain and discomfort.

Overall, laryngotomy is an important surgical procedure that can help save lives and improve the quality of life of patients with laryngeal diseases. However, before performing this operation, it is necessary to carefully assess the patient’s condition and choose the optimal treatment method.
