title: [Tracheoesophageal puncture with tracheal tube and flexible endoscope].
abstract: Tracheoesophageal shunt phonation is one method of voice restoration after total laryngectomy. Singer and Blom reported an endoscopic technique for voice restoration after laryngectomy, but this is not easy for all cases, because introducing nonflexible endoscope is difficult due to of scarring in the neck and reconstruction with free jejunum. We conducted tracheoesophageal puncture with a tracheal tube and flexible endoscope, finding this useful for all cases of secondary shunt procedures.
