摘要
Following Total Laryngectomy, Tracheo-oesophageal speech prosthesis offers the most reliable form of voice rehabilitation. Of the various prostheses currently available, the Provox voice prosthesis developed by the Netherlands Cancer Institute has been the most popular due to its superior design and in-dwelling nature. At the Apollo Cancer Hospital, Hyderabad, 17 patients underwent speech rehabilitation with the Provox voice prosthesis between February 1999 and July 2000. Speech rehabilitation was successful in all patients with the majority (82%) developing Good - Excellent speech. Two patients required replacement and one patient discontinued use of the prosthesis. There were no complications in any of the other patients.
