متن کاملSpeech rehabilitation after total laryngectomy: long-term results with indwelling voice prosthesis Blom-Singer.
UNLABELLED To evaluate long-term use of indwelling Blom-Singer voice prosthesis (VP) for vocal rehabilitation of patients submitted to total laryngectomy (TL). We studied the influence of time of performance of tracheo-esophageal puncture (TEP), use of radiotherapy (XRT), patients' age and length of follow-up, on the rate of success of use of VP. STUDY DESIGN Clinical prospective. MATERIAL ...

متن کاملIn-vitro leakage susceptibility of tracheoesophageal shunt prostheses in the absence and presence of a biofilm.
Although leakage through a tracheoesophageal shunt prosthesis is the main cause of prosthesis failure in a laryngectomy patient, this has never been the subject of in vitro evaluation. The aim of this study was to compare three commercially available voice prostheses by comparison of their in vitro leakage patterns, in absence or presence of a biofilm. To compare in vitro leakage patterns, a mo...
متن کامل[The relationship between the presence of Candida colonization in the oropharynx and on the Blom-Singer voice prosthesis and its effect on the length of prosthesis use].
OBJECTIVES We investigated the effect of oropharyngeal Candida colonization on the contamination of the Blom-Singer voice prosthesis and its lifetime. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study included 26 male laryngectomized patients (age range 45 to 76 years) in whom the Blom-Singer low-pressure prosthetic valve inserted required removal due to improper functioning. All patients had postoperative radi...
