The larynx is laid bare, and the superior portion of the thyroid cartilage carefully removed so as not to injure the mucous membrane of the larynx. The parts thus prepared are firmly fixed against the column, to which the arytenoid cartilages are also attached by the cord which binds them to- gether. The trachea is connected with a pipe and bellows for the supply of air. a, the trachea; b, the os hyoides; c, the cricoid cartilage; d, portion of the thyroid cartilage re- maining for the attachment of the cords e, by means of which the vocal cords may be extended; /, apparatus for compression.
