This book contains a series of articles and summaries regarding surgical voice restoration after or during a total laryngectomy. Most readers will recall the pleasure patients feel when they are able to speak again after years of mute existence. A few simple questions are relevant to the articles contained herein. Firstly, how important is a person's voice? Is it for example as important to man as the dances bees use to convey essential information? Even the most superficial consideration must tell us that the function of the human voice is still more important as we already have a detailed body language of our own, e.g., when we feel pain,joy, love, fear, etc. Without doubt, speech is the basis of knowledge and surely it is the capacity to learn which characterizes the human intellect. Secondly, one may ask whether man was always intended to have a voice? A few every-day observations can provide us with an answer. When little children play together, for instance, they all speak at once and seldom listen to what their neighbors are saying. Obviously, this is b~cause it is not so important what they are actually saying as that something is being said at all.

The volume offers a comprehensive overview of voice rehabilitation after total laryngectomy through a multidisciplinary approach which is the result of the collaboration between otolaryngology specialists and speech therapists. After a short introduction on total laryngectomy and voice recovery, the volume discusses patient selection for voice prosthesis. The following part describes the surgical steps for prosthesis implantation and replacement, the complications that may occur and their solutions. The fourth part focuses on voice rehabilitation. The closing part reviews the different types of voice prostheses and devices and their use and correct management for optimal respiratory, olfactory and speech rehabilitation. Each topic addressed is supported by a wealth of detailed images and step-by-step videos. Given its features, the volume will be an invaluable tool for ENT specialists and speech therapists as well as residents in these fields.

Abstract: Persons with advanced cancer of the larynx or pyriform sinuses frequently undergo laryngeal amputation (laryngectomy) to remove the tumor. Among the sequelae to this surgery are permanent diversion of the lower airway to a tracheostoma at the base of the neck with loss of the upper airway for respiration and olfaction, maintenance of oral swallowing (but altered by loss of the larynx and alteration of the upper esophageal sphincter), and loss of voice (Stemple, Glaze, & Klaben, 2000). There are three primary methods for voice restoration following total laryngectomy: esophageal speech, speech with an artificial vibratory source (a.k.a. electrolarynx), and tracheoesophageal (TE) speech, which requires a voice prosthesis (v.p.) (Stemple, Glaze, & Klaben, 2000). The latter is the focus of the present study. Since the introduction of the first effective v.p. in 1980 (InHealth Technologies ENT Product Catalog, 2005), there has been a steady increase in the variety of designs of prostheses available for use. This increase in variety raises questions about which design is "best" or what criteria should be employed in selecting v.p.s. The study is a chart review of a 29 patients with total laryngectomy and primary TEP who have been in recovery for at least one year (time frame, 2003-2004). The goal is to identify changes in selected v.p.s and reasons for such changes in the first year post-surgery. The primary trend was a reduction in v.p. length over the first year. A second surprising trend was the relatively short useful life of the clinician-inserted v.p.s. A third trend was the pervasive presence of candida colonization of voice prostheses (a condition which produces premature breakdown of the v.p. valve).

Post-laryngectomy rehabilitation has generated tremendous interest in recent times owing to the development of innovative prosthetic devices and other appliances aimed at making life more comfortable for the laryngectomee. This book addresses not only the very essential function of voice rehabilitation, but also other equally important aspects such as pulmonary, olfactory and psycho-social rehabilitation as well as quality-of-life issues after laryngectomy. With more and more ENT, head and neck surgeons performing laryngectomies on a regular basis, this book aims to provide both the trainees and practicing surgeons a comprehensive and practical guide to the total rehabilitation of these patients.

Explores clinical issues of the 20-year-old tracheoesophageal puncture technique which allows for esophageal speech with pulmonic air. After a brief overview of the history of the technique, topics discussed include preoperative assessment methods, patient selection considerations, surgical techniques of primary and secondary puncture, surgical approaches to laryngopharyngectomy, surgical complications, postoperative therapeutic issues, the preservation of tracheoesophogeal prostheses, and the use of botulinum neurotoxin to nonsurgically optimize the pharynx muscles for alaryngeal phonation.

The book explores new ways to reconstruct and enhance speech that is compromised by various neuro-motor disorders – collectively known as “dysarthria.” The authors address some of the extant lacunae in speech research of dysarthric conditions: they show how new methods can improve speaker recognition when speech is impaired due to developmental or acquired pathologies; they present a novel multi-dimensional approach to help the speech system both assess dysarthric speech and to perform intelligibility improvement of the impaired speech; they display well-performing software solutions for developmental and acquired speech impairments, and for vocal injuries; and they examine non-acoustic signals and muted nonverbal sounds in relation to audible speech conversion.

Augmentative and Alternative Communication: Models and Applications, Second Edition describes augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) comprehensively and offers a framework for understanding how AAC intervention can be used in the process of communication. This textbook is intended to serve as the primary text for graduate-level courses in augmentative and alternative communication in speech-language pathology programs. It also serves as an essential resource for practicing clinicians. AAC is used by an ever-growing group of individuals of all ages, each with their own personal and communication needs. The book presents the various AAC interventions and teaches the prospective clinician which intervention may be effective depending on the needs, condition, and prognosis of the client. The text details how communication is shaped by internal and external factors and how communication affects social functioning. New to the Second Edition: * A revised introductory chapter reflecting recent changes in the field * Thoroughly updated chapters on technology, vocabulary, and assessment * Reorganization of the chapters for a more natural flow of information * New and revised artwork throughout including images, tables, and charts * New and expanded case studies covering different types of communicators, their needs, and AAC solutions Expanded coverage on the following topics: * The debate on core vocabulary and discussion of best practices * Perspectives and views from AAC users * Ethics in AAC service delivery * Research issues
