[Treatment of chronic aspiration by Lindeman's tracheosophageal diversion procedure].

Three cases of swallowing disorders have been presented in the course of atrophic lateral sclerosis in two patients, and in the pseudobulbar in one.

[Aspiration pneumonia following various types of partial horizontal laryngectomy].

The authors present a retrospective study of 463 partial horizontal laryngectomy of various types (horizontal supraglottic laryngectomy and its modifications, supracricoid laryngectomy with CHP and CHEP, glottic laryngectomy) performed in the years 1970-1991 in the ENT Clinic of Pomeranian Medical Academy in Szczecin. The aspiration pneumonia in 46 (about 10%) patients was observed as a result of insufficient lower airway protection. In cases of extended supraglottic laryngectomy (including the removal of one arytenoid cartilage and/or one vocal cord) aspiration pneumonia appeared more often (16%) than after classic supraglottic laryngectomy (6%). Reconstruction of elevation of arytenoid cartilage and/or vocal cord and base of tongue its extended resection augmented the efficacy lower airway protection.

[Functional results after supracricoid reconstructive laryngectomy with cricohyoidopexy (chp) and cricohyoidoepiglottopexy (chep)].

The functional results in 61 patients after supracricoid reconstructive laryngectomy with CHP (28 cases) and CHEP (33 cases) performed in the University ENT Department in Szczecin between 1971-1989 are presented. Satisfactory lower airway protection in about 93% and respiration in the natural way in 83% are obtained. It was impossible to decaniulate 11 patients. The voice was socially sufficient in 89%.

[Cases of granular cell tumor (myoblastoma) in the larynx].

Two patients suffering from very rare granular cell tumor of the larynx were observed at the ENT Department of Medical School in Szczecin in the period 1986 to 1990. In one case the tumor located in the intra-arythenoid region was treated by tyreotomy. In the second case the tumor contained comisura anterior and cricothyreoidea region and was resected by subglottic laryngectomy. The functional results of the treatment were satisfactory.
