Popis: Surgical exploration and immediate reconstruction with the median layer of the deep cervical fascia (MLDCF) was performed in 8 of 22 patients with exogenous war injuries of larynx and cervical trachea. A surgical technique of reconstruction with the median layer of the deep cervical fascia is described. The 7 surviving patients had good respiration without signs of stenosis of the larynx and/or the trachea. Four had good and 3 satisfactory, phonation, and none had swallowing difficulties. Owing to the simplicity of the surgical approach, its size and biological properties, the median layer of deep cervical fascia proved itself to be a suitable material in the immediate reconstruction of exogenerous war injuries of the larynx and cervical trachea.
