[Distant results of putting the feeding tube through wound after laryngectomy]

Authors present their own postoperative results in nourishing the patients after laryngectomy. Their several years' observations, based on the group of 318 patients, were connected with the risk of the postoperative complications. In proposed way of nourishing (introduced by B. Latkowski) the point is in putting the nutritive drain not through the nose, but directly through the cutting during laryngectomy. The main aim of the research was presenting good points of this method and existence of no complications with the most dangerous--fistulas.
