Abstract

Voice restoration following laryngectomy has a significant influence on quality of life (QOL). Three main techniques exist to provide voice: esophageal speech (ES), artificial larynx (electrolarynx [EL]), and tracheoesophageal puncture (TEP). Although the EL was historically the most used technique, TEP has quickly become the gold standard. ES remains the least frequently used technique in developed countries. Technique selection must be made on an individual basis, considering the patient's cancer history and comorbidities. Ultimately, the choice in voice-restoration technique requires joint decision making with the surgeon, speech pathologist, and patient.
