RESULT:Of 56 patients, 412 patients successes in voice restoration. The success rate of amputating pharynx plexus nerves group was 60.0%, amputating cricopharyngeal muscle group was 62.5%, and the amputating pharynx plexus nerves and cricopharyngeal muscle group was 96.0%.
CONCLUSION:The combination of pharynx plexus nerves resection and cricopharyngeal myotomy can make higher success rate of voice restoration.
