title: [Voice and spirometric function i patients after expanded fronto-lateral laryngectomy by using the Szmeja method].
abstract: The examination was carried out on 32 patients with larynx cancer, before and after fronto-lateral laryngectomy with reconstruction, using cartilage-mucous membrane transplant from the nasal septum. Before and after the surgery the following examinations were carried out: 1. phoniatric evaluation of voice, 2. acoustic analyses of voice, 3. spirometric examination. The phoniatric examination included evaluation of voice characteristics, time of phonation, anatomic mechanism of voice creation and evaluation of voice tiredness with the use of stroboscopy. Acoustic examination included the frequency evaluation of laryngeal sound and its range, jitter shimmer evaluation, harmonic structure of sound and the level of noise. The result obtained allow us to consider the voice and respiratory function as satisfactory.
