Thanks
the answer is C.Laryngoplasty
To confirm your answer, let's break down the options:
A. Laryngectomy: This term refers to the surgical removal of the larynx, not the repair of it, so it is not the correct answer.
B. Laryngostomy: This term is the creation of an opening in the larynx to improve breathing, not a repair. So it is also not the correct answer.
C. Larynoplasty: This term refers to the surgical repair of the larynx, specifically referring to the reconstruction of the larynx. Therefore, C seems to be the correct answer.
D. Laryngostenosis: This term refers to the narrowing or constriction of the larynx, not its surgical repair, so it is not the correct answer.
Based on this analysis, it seems your answer, C (Larynoplasty), is correct.
