Total Closure of Enlarged Tracheoesophageal Puncture with Septal Button: Long-Term Results.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tracheoesophageal puncture enlargement in laryngectomized patients is a significant problem due to complications such as aspiration pneumonia. There are several management methods including conservative and nonconservative techniques. A total closure of the enlarged tracheoesophageal puncture is needed in some cases when conservative approaches have failed. At this point, the insertion of a silicone septal button in the puncture site is a useful, inexpensive, and simple technique. The follow-up of 4 patients managed with this technique revealed satisfactory long-term results.
