title: [Surgical restoration of the vocal function after laryngectomy].
abstract: The restoration of the voice function in patients after total laryngectomy is an important problem, which can be resolved using polymer tracheoesophageal valves. These authors have developed a new tracheoesophageal valve from a biocompatible polymer with an original unilateral lock as well as a procedure of its implantation during laryngectomy. Altogether 9 patients with laryngeal cancer stage III-IV underwent surgery. The high success rate of voice restoration was observed in 6 patients. The procedure is simple in use and will be further modified.
