Abstract:
We describe our experience using the Provox voice prosthesis in patients undergoing free jejunal loop transfer following total pharyngo-laryngectomy. From our series and the few reports in the literature, the use of a voice prosthesis appears to be an effective method of speech rehabilitation in this group of patients.
