 We studied the effectiveness of laryngotracheal separation in 11 patients with repetitive aspiration pneumonia. The patients were 10 males and a female, 3-55 years of age with an average of 18.5 years. Their underlying diseases were cerebral palsy, hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, leukodystrophy, microcephaly, subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, Sanfilippo syndrome, and cerebral hemorrhage. Aspiration pneumonia was completely cured, and the frequency of suctioning sputum was lowered postoperatively. Transoral ingestion and home care were achieved in 3 and 6 patients, respectively. There were no fatal complications. Although laryngotracheal separation sacrifices phonatory functions, this surgery improves patients' prognosis, and is also beneficial to their family and caregivers.
