Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Voice Restoration

Background:

  • Laryngectomy necessitates voice restoration techniques.
  • Tracheo-oesophageal puncture is a common method for voice restoration.
  • Rigid endoscopic techniques present challenges in tracheo-oesophageal puncture.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe an alternative method for tracheo-oesophageal puncture.
  • To address limitations of the rigid endoscopic technique.
  • To improve the efficiency and predictability of the puncture procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a modified curved abdominal forceps.
  • Utilizing the modified forceps for tracheo-oesophageal puncture.
  • Comparison with the rigid endoscopic technique (implied).

Main Results:

  • The modified forceps provide quicker access to the puncture site.
  • The modified forceps allow for more predictable access.
  • This method offers an improvement over the rigid endoscopic technique.

Conclusions:

  • The modified curved abdominal forceps represent a viable alternative for tracheo-oesophageal puncture.
  • This technique enhances the efficiency and predictability of voice restoration post-laryngectomy.
  • Further adoption of this method may improve surgical outcomes for patients.
