Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the results of the Groningen valve voice prosthesis in China.Methods The Groningen valve was used to date in 10 patients with a mean age at insertion of 60.2 years from January 2003 to January 2004. Seven patients underwent primary valve insertion at the time of surgery and in three patients the prosthesis was inserted at a later date. The speech quality of this group was assessed.Results The median score was 4.6(range 3.3～6.9)which compared favourably with a similar analysis of other valve.Conclusion The Groningen valve provides a highly acceptable means of obtaining vocalization after total laryngectomy in patients.
