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.

Hardbound. Surgical and prosthetic voice restoration after total laryngectomy has been very controversial over the last few years, and many specialists question its efficiency, but there is no doubt that in the last 15-20 years the number of surgeons practising this type of surgical operation has increased rapidly and we now think that its efficiency is very evident. The number of prosthesis designs has increased due to greater usage. The results have been getting better and the number of sceptics has reduced.This volume covers recent advances in subtotal reconstructive surgery and its results have been presented as an alternative to total laryngectomy. Other interesting topics such as artificial larynx, laryngeal transplants or the laser in laryngeal carcinomas have been dealt with adequately. The congress has shown the importance, interest and acceptance of these surgical and prosthetic techniques for voice restoration. These proceedings will be a

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.

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.

Abstract: Advanced laryngeal cancer requires laryngeal amputation (laryngectomy) (Graham, 1997). As a sequelae to laryngectomy, the surgeon redirects the trachea to the external neck, creating a tracheostoma. This serves as the path for respiration as there is no longer a connection between the trachea and the upper airway (Plante & Beeson, 1999). The laryngectomy deprives the patient of the power source (exhaled air) for speech and the vibrating source (vocal folds) for speech. There are three forms of voice restoration following total laryngectomy: esophageal speech, speech with an artificial larynx, and tracheoesophageal (TE) speech, requiring use of a voice prosthesis (v.p.). TE speech is the focus of the present study. Voice prostheses have evolved immensely since their introduction in1980; therefore, clinicians face a multitude of decisions in managing speech rehabilitation. Questions arise regarding which v.p. design is "best" and what criteria should be considered when selecting v.p.s. This study is a chart review of 11 patients with total laryngectomy and primary TEP who have been in recovery for two years (time frame, 2003-2005). The goal was to identify changes in selected v.p.s and reasons for such changes in the first and second years post-surgery. The primary trend was that patients required progressively shorter v.p.s in the first year vs. negligible change in the second year. A second trend was that clinician-inserted v.p.s tended toward a relatively short useful life. A third trend was that more female laryngectomees were retained in the second year of recovery than males. A fourth trend was the pervasive presence of candida colonization of v.p.s (a condition producing breakdown of the v.p. valve.

In 20 to 40 percent of all cases of laryngeal cancer, total laryngectomy has to be performed, i.e. the removal of the entire larynx. For the patient, this means the loss of the natural voice and thus the loss of the main means of communication. A popular method of voice restoration involves a shunt valve (voice prosthesis) between trachea and pharyngoesophageal segment which establishes the tracheoesophageal (TE) substitute voice. From time to time, the substitute voice has to be evaluated by the therapist for the purpose of reporting therapy progress. This evaluation is subjective; it is therefore dependent on the particular expert's experience and similar factors. In the frame of this thesis, it was examined how automatic methods can be used in order to provide an objective means of the evaluation of substitute voices. There are some established objective measures which are, however, restricted to the evaluation of sustained vowels. In this thesis, the step from the automatic analysis of vowel recordings to text recordings is done. For judging speech quality objectively in a real communication situation, the analysis of entire words and sentences is necessary because the intelligibility of a substitute voice in a dialogue is a substantial criterion for evaluation. Automatic word recognition methods were applied to a standard text that was read out by the test persons. Information on the intelligibility of the individual speakers was gained by the comparison of word recognition rates with reference evaluation data from human experts. The use of a prosody module allowed to extract not only acoustic information on the speaker's voice, but it also measured individual speaking characteristics. The inter-rater variability among humans was compared to the automatic analysis results, and the main finding was that the correlation between human and automatic ratings was as good as the agreement among the human rater group. The automatic recognition could be slightly improved on distant-talking recordings by the use of mu-law features which are modified Mel-Frequency Cepstrum Coefficients (MFCC). Artificially reverberated training data for the recognizer is another possibility to achieve better recognition rates even when the reverberation in the test data does not match the acoustic properties of the training data. This is a step towards a therapy session where the patients will not be required to wear a headset any more.
