Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of the anteroposterior cricoid split on cartilage growth.
METHOD:The rabbits were killed 8 months after the surgery of anteroposterior cricoid split. The larynxes were harvested and the cross-sectional area of the cricoid cartilage were calculated.
RESULT:There was no significant difference in the cross-sectional area of the cricoid cartilage of these three groups.
CONCLUSION:The anteroposterior cricoid split might have no adverse effect on subsequent growth of cricoid cartilage.
