Abstract
Nine patients who have undergone total laryngo-pharyngectomy with free jejunal reconstruction between 1984 and 1993, have had Blom-Singer valves inserted. All patients had little or no voice prior to valve insertion, compared with a good but gravelly voice after valve insertion. Tracheo-oesophageal puncture and valve insertion provides a safe and reliable means of restoring voice after laryngo-pharyngectomy with free jejunal repair.Entities:
