Objective

To analyze our experience with the use of voice prostheses (VP) following total laryngectomy.

Material and method

Retrospective study of 96 patients in whom a VP was placed by means of tracheoesophageal puncture between October 2000 and December 2005.

Results

Eighty-six (89.6%) primary and 10 (10.4%) secondary punctures were performed; 84.4% (81/96) were Provox® prostheses and 74% of the patients used them as their usual means of communication. Causes for removal were: failure and aspiration, 66% (14/21); non-use, 23.8% (2/21), and granulations and inflammation, 4.8% (1/21).

Conclusions

The use of VP by means of tracheoesophageal puncture was useful in 74% of our patients, with an acceptable rate of complications and phonatory results superior to those obtained with oesophageal speech; we therefore recommend their use in patients who are candidates on the basis of motivation and physical and oncological assessment.

Objetivo

Analizar nuestra experiencia con el uso de prótesis fonatorias (PF) tras la realización de laringectomía total.

Material y método

Estudio retrospectivo de 96 pacientes a quienes se colocó una PF mediante punción traqueoesofágica entre octubre de 2000 y diciembre de 2005.

Resultados

Se realizaron 86 (89,6%) punciones primarias y 10 (10,4%) secundarias; el 84,4% (81/96) de las prótesis eran del tipo Provox® y el 74% de los pacientes la utilizaban como medio habitual de comunicación. Las causas de retirada fueron: insuficiencia y aspiración, 66% (14/21); no emplearla, 23,8% (2/21), y granulaciones e inflamación, 4,7% (1/21).

Conclusiones

El empleo de PF mediante punción traqueoesofágica ha sido útil en el 74% de nuestros pacientes, con una tasa de complicaciones asumible y resultados fonatorios superiores a los obtenidos mediante erigmofonía, por lo que recomendamos su uso en pacientes que, por motivación y valoración física y oncológica, sean candidatos.
