Evoking esophageal speech after the completely removed of the larynx: case study

Magdalena Kokot Logo ORCID

Abstract

For many speech therapists, regardless of their work experience, undertaking therapy with a patient after complete removal of the larynx is a huge challenge that they often cannot cope with. This state of affairs is caused by the still small number of practical studies containing detailed guidelines for post-laryngectomy therapy. The article presents detailed recommendations on evoking esophageal voice along with an explanation of the causes of possible failures during the voice and speech rehabilitation process. Possible actions range from those that are possible a few days after laryngeal surgery to those for practicing the prosodic elements of speech.
