Abstract

Chronic salivary aspiration can cause life-threatening pneumonia in a patient whose laryngeal function is completely lost. We report a patient who had laryngotracheal separation with cricoidectomy under local anaesthesia. The simplicity and reliability of the procedure were improved by using fibrin glue and the outcome was most satisfactory.
