Buccal fat augmentation for insufficient neoglottal closure after supracricoid laryngectomy with cricohyoidoepiglottopexy

Fat absorption occurred and one third of the volume remained at 3 and 6 months. Although, vocal measurements remained unchanged, psychological parameters for voice and swallowing improved.
