Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT PURPOSE: Large and combined laryngoceles usually need an external approach. One difficulty in such approach was the dissection at the paraglottic space. To overcome such difficulty, a thyroid chondroplastic flap approach to the paraglottic space was designed. METHODS: This study is a case series of thirty consecutive patients (24 men and six women with an average age of 45.6 years), having large combined laryngocele resected externally between January 1995 and December 2019) at the department of ORL_HNS Tanta University, Egypt. RESULTS: This approach allowed for excellent exposure of the paraglottic space, facilitating complete resection. Complications included perichondrial tearing in five patients, obstructing hematoma in two patient and minimal edema in four patients. CONCLUSIONS: Thyroid chondroplastic flap is an excellent and safe approach for the paraglottic space facilitating complete resection of large laryngoceles.
