    Summary

    Tracheoesophageal puncture with silicone prosthesis aids voice rehabilitation in alaryngeal patients. Radiologic evaluations are crucial for assessing anatomy, muscular activity, and identifying complications like neck abscess or osteomyelitis.

    Area of Science:

    • Laryngology
    • Radiology
    • Speech-Language Pathology

    Background:

    • Tracheoesophageal puncture (TEP) with a silicone prosthesis is a common, effective voice rehabilitation method for alaryngeal patients.
    • Radiologic imaging plays a role in evaluating patients undergoing TEP.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review radiologic evaluations of patients undergoing TEP.
    • To present the radiologic manifestations of TEP-related complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of radiologic evaluations for 31 patients scheduled for TEP over 3 years.
    • Preoperative barium swallow examinations to assess pharyngoesophageal anatomy and function.
    • Postoperative examinations for suspected complications, unsatisfactory phonation, or follow-up.

    Main Results:

    • Postoperative complications identified included neck abscess, cervical osteomyelitis, and feeding tube dissection.
    • Radiologic imaging successfully visualized these complications.

    Conclusions:

    • Pre- and postoperative radiologic evaluation is essential for patients undergoing TEP.
    • Radiology aids in the management of voice rehabilitation and identification of TEP complications.
