title: [The concept of comprehensively oriented rehabilitation of laryngectomized patients].
abstract: A comprehensive rehabilitation program for laryngectomized patients is presented, consisting of close cooperation between the ENT clinic, phoniatric department and post-operative reconvalescent institution. Four main points are emphasized: (1) rehabilitation with both the oesophageal voice and the vibrator voice; (2) involvement of the patient's partner in the whole rehabilitation program, including participation in the 4-week stay in a post-operative reconvalescent institution; (3) information for the employer about the special needs of a laryngectomee; (4) contact with the regional branch of the laryngectomees' association.
