[Complications in tracheoesophageal bypass with vocal prosthesis].
A total of 112 cases of laryngeal and laryngopharyngeal cancer of stage III-IV have been analysed. The patients have undergone laryngectomy with tracheoesophageal bypass and prosthesis. In advanced tumors this operation is made in extremely unfavorable conditions due to the presence of severe inflammation in the tissues, chondroperichondritis and postradiation fibrosis, airways contamination with microbial flora. Complications arising in tracheoesophageal bypass and methods of their management are described. The knowledge of the problems and approaches to their management can help ENT doctors practicing vocal rehabilitation after laryngectomy.
