Larynx, Artificial
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Larynx, Artificial'A device, activated electronically or by expired pulmonary air, which simulates laryngeal activity and enables a laryngectomized person to speak. Examples of the pneumatic mechanical device are the Tokyo and Van Hunen artificial larynges. Electronic devices include the Western Electric electrolarynx, Tait oral vibrator, Cooper-Rand electrolarynx and the Ticchioni pipe.

Playing a brass instrument after total laryngectomy: a case report.
30 Jul 2009 
BACKGROUND: A brass instrument is a musical instrument in which the tone is produced by vibration of the lips as the player blows into a tubular resonator. The case of a professional brass player who continued his activity after total laryngectomy, ... Read more...
A short perspective on the surgical restoration of alaryngeal speech.
30 Jul 2009 Despite advances in conservative laryngeal surgery and radiotherapy, total laryngectomy still remains the procedure of choice for advanced-stage laryngeal carcinoma around the world. The loss of natural voice is very often traumatic for the total ... Read more...
[Pulmonary rehabilitation after total laryngectomy using a heat and moisture exchanger (HME)]
28 Jul 2009 A complete removal of the larynx has profound consequences for a patient. Since laryngectomy involves the separation of the upper airway from the lower airway, it not only implies a loss of the voice organ but also leads to chronic lung problems ... Read more...
