A British experience of surgical voice restoration techniques as a secondary procedure following total laryngectomy

Abstract: An earlier paper (Cheesman et al., 1985) described assessment procedures for ‘failed’ oesophageal speakers who were referred to Charing Cross Hospital for possible Surgical Voice Restoration in 1983–4.This paper presents the results of surgical voice restoration in the first fifty laryngectomized patients referred and analyses the reasons for failure in those where surgical voice restoration was unsuccessful.94 per cent of patients who underwent secondary voice restoration were successful at two weeks post-sur… Show more

“…To complement these perceptual analyses, videofluoroscopic examination was performed with various consistencies of contrast in order to assess stasis relative to consistency as well as to determine the potential for a relationship between observed stasis and esophageal speech acquisition. Perry et al [12] and Diedrich [15] described a correlation between diminished barium transit through the PE segment in cases with stenosis, suggesting that this finding is contributory to poor EV. Gatenby [7] and Müller-Miny [16] also reported decreased liquid barium transit associated with PE spasm.…”

“…Furthermore, both voice and swallowing share common anatomical structures, leading some to hypothesize a relationship between deficits in swallowing function and poor EV. Stenosis [12,15] , food stasis and PE spasm [7,16] have all been reported as factors limiting EV, but no clear relationship between these deficits of deglutition and the acquisition of fluent EV has been described. Moreover, previous investigations have not varied bolus conditions during the evaluation of swallow function as a means to further elucidate the potential relationship between dysphagia and EV.…”

“…The best TE voices presented with shorter distances between the PES prominence and the anterior wall (5,19,20) ; nevertheless, that measurement did not reflect the extent of contact of the tissue in that area (18) . The contact extent, either larger or smaller, can produce a more tense or breathy voice quality, respectively.…”

“…This varies from hypotonia, where there is little approximation between the walls and the voice is weak and breathy, passing as normotonia, hypertonia, and culminating with spasms, characterized by the intense constriction of the PES and absence of emissions (5,19,20) . Several studies associated the lack of success of esophageal voice and TE voice with hypertonia, primarily, to spasms in the PES (4,9,21,22) .…”
