Abstract: Traditionally, gullet closure that is done after a laryngectomy has been accomplished with tedious and time-consuming suturing procedures. As an alternative to this, staple closure of the gullet has been growing in acceptance and implementation as a mucosal eversion technique. In this article, we shall present several aspects and considerations of this method of surgical closure.
