DESPITE THE MODERN TECHIQUES OF CONSERVATIVE SURGERY AND RADIATION THERAPY, TOTAL LARINGECTOMY REMAINS A CURATIVE AND NECESARY INTERVENTION FOR PATIENTS THAT SUFFER FROM LARYNGEAL CANCER. THESE PATIENTS HAVE A GOOD OVERALL SURVIVAL, BUT THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE CAN BE VERY LOW AS THEY OFTEN HAVE DIFFICULTIES IN COMMUNICATING, SWALLOWING AND SOCIAL REINTEGRATION. THE PHYSICIAN ALONG WITH THE TEAM OF SPEECH THERAPIST, PSYCHOLOGIST AND ONCOLOGIST NEED TO HELP THE PATIENT IN VOICE, DEGLUTITION, OLFACTORY AND PULMONARY REHABILITATION IN ORDER TO HAVE THE BEST RESULTS. IN OUR CLINIC, WHICH IS AN ONCOLOGICAL CENTER, IN THE LAST YEAR, THERE HAVE BEEN PERFORMED 230 PROCEDURES OF TOTAL LARYNGECTOMY FOR PATIENTS SUFFERING FROM T3 TO T4 LARYNGEAL CANCER, WITH NECK DISSECTION ACCORDING TO THE TNM CLASSIFICATION. 70 PATIENTS BENEFIT FROM PRIMARY VOICE REHABILITATION WITH VOCAL PROSTHESIS. ALMOST ALL OF THEM HAD GOOD RESULTS, BEING ABLE TO COMMUNICATE EASILY. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
