| Abstract;Since the introduction of the speech following tracheoesophageal puncture (shunt) with voice prosthesis, this technique was performed on 19 male patients. All the patients underwent esophageal punctures during primary operation. The evaluation for voice restoration was performed according to the communication in daily life and divided into four groups (excellent, fair, poor, and none). The success rate of voice restoration was 78.9% (excellent group; 57.9%, fair group; 21.0%). Maximum phonation time of the excellent group was over 10 seconds, supporting the evidence that restored voice was excellent in quality. There were no significant differences between Provox2 and Groningen as voice prostheses. Eight out of 19 patients had 13 problems related with tracheoesophageal shunt. However, all the cases were freed from prosthesis removal by an appropriate treatment. (author abst.) |
