title: [Prosthetic vocal rehabilitation of Herrmann's type after total laryngectomy. Results apropos of 29 cases].
abstract: The authors performed 29 surgical interventions of this type (24 primary and 5 secondary implantations). The treatment protocols, especially, the radio-chemotherapeutic protocols, were not changed and the radiotherapeutic tolerance of these prosthetic implants was particularly outstanding. This method may find wide application as well after single total laryngectomy as after circular total pharyngeal laryngectomy with restoration by gastric transplant. Speech is generally produced as early as the 12th day and we may assert that it is much better than esophageal speech, the whole indications and results being considered. These are being discussed and sustained support by the therapeutic team appears to be necessary.
