Abstract:
Objective To study the therapeutic effect of reconstruction in improving trachea esophagus vocalization after total laryngectomy.Method We reviewed the reconstruction of vocalization with trachea esophagus tunnel in 12 cases patients of total laryngectomy,i.e. a triangular mucous valve was made by incision of the posterior wall of the trachea with the correlative anterior wall of the esophagus made into a tunnel and the mucous valve would vocalize.Result 11 of the 12 cases obtained successful vocalization,counting for 91% of the total. Atresia of the vocalizing valve occurred in one case.Conclusion Trachea esophagus tunnel vocalization reconstruction has better therapeutic effect with good vocalization effect and fewer complications and easily performed.It avoided the shortcomings of necrosis and atresia of the vocalization valve and pharyngeal fistula formation,and the complexity of exchange of artificial vocalization tube again and again.
