The philosophy and general principles of incisions in laryngeal excision‐al surgery are discussed. The major types of incisions are named, described and examined in relationship to the blood supply to the skin flaps and its adaptation to carotid artery protection and stomal formation. The importance of the incision as a composite part of the operation is stressed.
