Abstract:
Laryngeal cancer commonly causes loss of bodily functions, damage to the body image, and threat to life itself. Amputation of the voice as the result of laryngectomy alters the way patients, their families, and others perceive their bodily changes of function and often results in alterations in the activities and roles that they are able to carry out. Loss of body parts can have enormous physical and emotional impact on the patient. Likewise, the surgical creation of alternative openings and passages, which are readily seen during even the most casual contact, can have a profound effect on body image.
