Endotracheal artificial larynx -- preliminary report

V S Dayal, M L Joy, R E Moon

    The Journal of Otolaryngology
    |February 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    A new surgical technique creates a patent tracheopharyngeal fistula during laryngectomy. An artificial larynx effectively prevents aspiration and may provide voice in animal models.

    Area of Science:

    • Surgical innovation
    • Biomedical engineering
    • Laryngology

    Background:

    • Laryngectomy necessitates airway reconstruction and voice restoration.
    • Preventing aspiration post-laryngectomy is a critical challenge.
    • Current prosthetic options have limitations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a one-stage surgical procedure for creating a tracheopharyngeal fistula.
    • To design and evaluate an endotracheal artificial larynx for aspiration prevention.
    • To assess the voice production potential of the artificial larynx.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a novel surgical technique for tracheopharyngeal fistula creation in experimental animals.
    • Design and implementation of an endotracheal artificial larynx.
    • Evaluation of the device's efficacy in preventing aspiration in animal models.
    • Bench testing for voice production capabilities.

    Main Results:

    • Successful creation of a wide and patent tracheopharyngeal fistula in a single surgical stage.
    • The endotracheal artificial larynx demonstrated effectiveness in preventing aspiration.
    • Preliminary bench studies suggest the potential for adequate voice generation.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed surgical procedure and artificial larynx offer a promising solution for post-laryngectomy patients.
    • This combined approach addresses both airway patency and aspiration prevention.
    • Further research is warranted to confirm voice quality and long-term efficacy in humans.
