Ring cartilage hyoid fixation

Ring cartilage hyoid fixation (cricohyoicopexy), ring cartilage epiglotid cartilage hyoid fixation (cricohyoidoepiglottopexy) is a functional laryngectomy. The purpose is to remove the larynx tumor while maintaining the breathing and swallowing function of the larynx without wearing a tracheal cannula. The condition of the operation is to retain the ring-shaped cartilage to maintain sufficient breathing passages, to retain one side of the condylar cartilage, to remove or retain epiglottic cartilage, to fix and suture with the hyoid bone, to free and relax the neck trachea, and to approach the base of the tongue. Keep swallowing.
