  • Title: Voice rehabilitation after laryngectomy.
    Author: Boyd JH, Varvares M, Fitzmaurice S.
    Journal: Mo Med; 1995 Mar; 92(3):145-7. PubMed ID: 7731448.
    Abstract:
    Unfortunately, laryngeal cancer commonly presents at a stage necessitating total laryngectomy. Voice rehabilitation in the past has primarily been with the electrolarynx or esophageal speech. Tracheoesophageal puncture (TEP) is a technique that has replaced the other two methods as the rehabilitative procedure of choice in most total laryngectomy patients. This report details this technique, as well as a brief discussion of the etiology and treatment of laryngeal cancer.
