Primary voice restoration at laryngectomy

Primary voice restoration at laryngectomy

R C Hamaker et al. Arch Otolaryngol. 1985 Mar.

Abstract

The tracheoesophageal puncture techniques of secondary voice restoration have been applied to primary restoration at laryngectomy. Satisfactory speech resulted in 48 patients (69%). This figure was improved by revision surgery to 75% and case selection may produce even higher success rates.
