Abstract

Accurate knowledge of the dimension, shape, and morphology of larynx and its complex anatomy is a prerequisite for performing surgery of the larynx. Population differences are important not only for planning surgical interventions but also for performing an operation. Previous morphometrical studies on the larynx had shown variable results obtained from different populations, including Western and Eastern ones, yet information about larynx morphometry in Anatolian population is limited. The purpose of this study is to make more statistical data available for Anatolian population and help clinicians for surgical approaches related to this area. Ten parameters from anterior and lateral views were measured on 50 thyroid cartilages taken from autopsy specimens (28 male, 22 female). Specimens were removed and dissected under stereomicroscope after routine fixation procedure. Those with visible deformations were eliminated during dissections. Statistical evaluations and comparisons were done for a comprehensive description. Significant sexual differences were observed. Mean values for all parameters were higher in males than in females. These results were compared with already existing anatomical data of other populations. This study on larynx specimens from different regions of Anatolia provides a general knowledge of thyroid cartilage dimensions. The obtained results can have great clinical influence on surgical approaches to the related area and give information for anthropomorphic studies.

安纳托利亚人甲状软骨的解剖研究

准确了解喉部的尺寸、形状和形态及其复杂的解剖结构是进行喉部手术的先决条件。人口差异不仅对计划手术干预很重要，而且对实施手术也很重要。以往的喉部形态计量学研究表明，不同种群(包括西方种群和东方种群)的喉部形态计量学结果不同，而安纳托利亚种群的喉部形态计量学资料有限。本研究的目的是为安纳托利亚人口提供更多的统计数据，并帮助临床医生选择与该地区相关的手术入路。对尸检标本(男性28例，女性22例)的50个甲状腺软骨进行了前位和侧位视图的10个参数测量。在常规固定程序后，在体视显微镜下取出标本并解剖。在解剖过程中去除明显变形的部分。统计评估和比较进行了全面的描述。性别差异显著。所有参数的平均值男性高于女性。这些结果与已有的其他种群的解剖数据进行了比较。本研究对来自安纳托利亚不同地区的喉部标本提供了甲状腺软骨尺寸的一般知识。所得结果对相关区域的手术入路具有重要的临床影响，并为拟人化研究提供信息。

期刊介绍： The Italian Journal of Anatomy and Embryology, founded in 1901 by Giulio Chiarugi, Anatomist at Florence University, is a peer-reviewed journal sponsored by the Italian Society of Anatomy and Embryology. The journal publishes original papers, invited review articles, historical article, commentaries, obituitary, and book reviews. Its main focus is to understand anatomy through an analysis of structure, function, development and evolution. Priority will be given to studies of that clearly articulate their relevance to the anatomical community. Focal areas include: experimental studies, contributions based on molecular and cell biology and on the application of modern imaging techniques; comparative functional morphology; developmental biology; functional human anatomy; methodological innovations in anatomical research; significant advances in anatomical education. Studies that are essentially descriptive anatomy are appropriate only if they communicate clearly a broader functional or evolutionary significance. All papers should be submitted in English and must be original works that are unpublished and not under consideration by another journal. An international Editorial Board and reviewers from the anatomical disciplines guarantee a rapid review of your paper within two to three weeks after submission.
