A laryngectomy is a surgical procedure to remove a portion or entire larynx. The larynx is a part of the throat in which vocal cords exist and produce sounds. Also, the larynx connects the nose to the teeth and lungs. Again, it provides support for the digestive system by keeping food or drink you consume out of the lungs and in the oesophagus. A person having a laryngectomy will find it hard to breathe, speak and swallow food properly.
The surgeon will perform the procedure under general anaesthesia. Firstly, the surgeon will make an incision on the neck and remove either a part or the entire larynx. The surgery may include the removal of some lymph nodes and a part of the pharynx.
Next, he will make the neck open in the front of the windpipe, called a stoma, to insert a laryngectomy tube. This tube helps to breathe post-surgery. In some cases, a tracheoesophageal puncture may be done to place voice prosthesis. A tracheoesophageal puncture (TEP) is a tiny hole between the trachea and esophagus.
Finally, the incisions will be closed with sutures. The patient may have to stay for one to two weeks in the hospital, and during this period, the medical team will track the recovery.
