Abstract

Primary tracheoesophageal puncture (TEP) is now considered to be the preferred method for voice rehabilitation after laryngectomy . The traditional method of creating a puncture with a no. 11 stab knife often leads to an eccentric puncture with irregular ragged margin, leading to scarring in the future. In this report we describe the innovative way of creating a TEP using a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser. This novel method of using a laser for the creation of a precise TEP could, perhaps, influence peri-prosthetic leakage and lead to better voice rehabilitation for patients that have undergone laryngectomy.
