Laryngectomy
Laryngectomy——when
We alredy know that:
* Larynx is an important organ
* Latyngectomy is traumatic
So:
*Laryngeal cancer (type &location & extent)
*life threatening condition
* “Salvage” surgery after failure of
nonsurgical treatment
Such as: radiation
chemotherapy
……
Laryngectomy——when
* 声带癌已浸及前连合或同侧声带后
1/3处,使声带运动受限或已累及对
侧声带。
* 声带以外部位如假声带、会厌、杓
会厌皱襞及环后等处癌肿。
* 声门下区癌肿。
* 喉部其他恶性肿瘤,如肉瘤等
Laryngectomy——how
1.Laryngeal cancer
* Incidence rate:
1~2%of all cancer; 20% of head and
neck cancer; the ratio of male to female
is 13 to 1
* predisposing factor:
cigarette smoke, alcohol, and noxious
fumes
* Locations:
the supraglottis, the subglottis, and
the glottis

Laryngectomy——acoustics
1. partial laryngectomy
Because of the tumor excise (a
tissue deficit ),there will be some
changs:
*stiffness due to scarring
*a gap in the glottal area when the
folds are approximated
Laryngectomy——acoustics
* air wastage → a breathy voice & short
phonation time
* Inadequate medial compression → reduced
loudness level
* Unequal mass between the right and left VF ,
an irregular vocal fold vibration
an attempt to compensate for the excessive
glottal gap by hyperactivity of false VF → a
rough voice

Voice therapy
Voice therapy
The importance of speech:
* If you lose your voice, you can’t argue
with your wife; you don’t have to bother with
telephone pests; and you’ll never talk yourself
out of a job or into trouble
* Speech is the primary means whereby
social relationships are achieved and
maintained ,and its loss seriously threatens a
person’s sense of security, adequacy ,and
acceptance.
Voice therapy
Preoperative care
* Partial laryngectomy
*
*
Total laryngectomy
Voice therapy——Preoperative
* An explanation of operation, an
curable cancer
* Discussion of postoperative
feelings
* Preparation for loss of speech
* Discussion of normal production
of speech
To give the patient some insight
into what is going to happen
Voice therapy——partial
* inhalation phonation using the vowel
/i/ to eliminate the excessive vocal
effort and reduce the false VF
activity
* Use an upward pitch to increase VF
tension and gain better
approximation
Voice therapy——total
* Begins with a review of the
mechanics of speech production
as it occurs when the larynx is
present
* Tell the patient that much of his
speech apparatus has not been
altered and the operation did not
affect many of his speech habits
and skills
Voice therapy——total
Three general communication options:
* Artificial larynx (AL)
* Esophageal speech (ES)
*Tracheoesophageal puncture and
prosthesis (TE)
实质:Learn to substitute other
structure for his missing ones
Voice therapy——total
Adoption rate of the treatment:
Esophageal Speech---------------------6%
Artificial larynx-electrolarynx-------55%
Tracheoesophageal Prosthesis--------31%
Remained nonvocal----------------------8%
——By Hillman and colleagues
Esophageal Speech---------------------42%
Both adopt ES and EL------------------91%
——By Janpanese
Voice therapy——The artificial larynx
* Types:
Mechanical type : a metal cylinder containing a
reed, lead the sound to the mouth by means of
a tube
Electric type : a mechanical box similar to a
flashlight (The neck type; The intraoral type)
* Theory:
Introduces sound for speech by placing the
instrument against the external throat or oral
Neck

Voice therapy——The artificial larynx
* Station:
Frequently encouraged during the
first few days following surgery ; A
good alternate mode (other mode
fail ,environmental factor)
* Voice quality:
A monotonic and robotic sounding
(no pitch adjustment options)
Voice therapy——The artificial larynx
The steps in speech therapy:
* find the “sweet spot”
* Learn to hold and operate the EL in
your non-dominant hand since it
frees up your other hand so that
you can write
Voice therapy——Esophageal Speech
* Theory:
Compressing air within the oropharynx
and injecting this denser air into the
more rarefied space of the esophagus
Bring compressed air into the
esophagus ;once the air is in it ,external
forces compress the air within it and
expel it, the esophageal explosion sets up
a vibration of the pharyngoesophageal
(PE) segment
* types:
Injection and inhalation
Voice therapy——Esophageal Speech
* Station:
a traditional therapy method
* Voice quality:
hoarse , low-pitched , and often
belchlike quality
Plosive consonants(/p/, /b/, /d/, /t/,
/k/, /g/)
Affricatives containing plosives(/t∫/,
/dЗ/
Voice therapy——Esophageal Speech
The steps in speech therapy:
* Learn to swallow air into the upper part of
the esophagus and immediately force it back
(as it passes the narrow throat muscles, it is
made to pulsate, and a belchlike sound,
similar to that of a vowel, is produced)
* Imitate the movements voluntarily (drinking
cokes or any carbonated beverage)
* Learn to produce vowels, consonants, and
syllables
* Stresses the development of vocal inflection
* Speech restoration
Voice therapy——Esophageal Speech
* The esophagus functions as a substitute
for the vocal fold
* The removal of the larynx increase the
space in the neck available to the
esophagus and permits it to expand to
accommodate the air necessary for
speech
* Control the air at the upper opening of
the esophagus
* Learn to inhibit breathing while speaking
Levels of esophageal speech
* No esophageal sound production—no speech
* Involuntary esophageal sound production—no
speech
* Voluntary sound production part of the
time—no speech
* Voluntary sound production most of the
time—vowels differentiated, monosyllabic
speech
* Esophageal sound produced at will—single
word speech
* Esophageal sound produced at will with
continuity—word grouping
* automatic esophageal speech
Voice therapy——Tracheoesophageal
• Theory:
makes a small puncture in the
wall between the trachea and
esophagus
Tracheoesophageal continued
How to do the surgery
①makes a small hole in the
rear of the stoma leading to
the esophagus
②Once this puncture heals ,a
prosthesis is fitted and
inserted into the opening
Tracheoesophageal continued
How to speak after the surgery:
occlude the stoma with your thumb or
finger and simply force air through the
prosthesis into the esophagus
This air movement vibrates the walls of
the esophagus and you can create sounds
and words normally with your
lips ,teeth ,and tongue ,etc
Tracheoesophageal continued
• easy to have leak
Cleaning and flushing
Installed prosthesis
Voice therapy——Esophageal Speech
Keep in mind:
Avoid any early attempts at
speech (speech therapy should
not be started until the muscles
and mucous membranes are well
healed and no longer tender)
