Abstract

Near-total laryngectomy with myomucosal valved neoglottis is the most recent of the various surgical proceedures for speech rehabilitation. The electrolaryngographic wave form (Lx), which was recorded initially to explore the site and mechanism of phonatory function of the neoglottis, has been successfully used in speech rehabilitation of these patients. In a pilot study it was tried as a visual feedback. The results confirm its utility for speech rehabilitation of these laryngectomees.
