How Total Laryngectomy ± Neck Dissection ± Voice Reconstruction (Including TEP) is performed
Under general anesthesia, the larynx is removed and separated from the pharynx, and a permanent tracheostomy is created; unilateral or bilateral neck dissection is performed according to the stage. When appropriate, tracheoesophageal puncture (TEP) can be performed simultaneously or in stages and a voice prosthesis placed, and the closure can be reinforced with local or free flaps if necessary. Postoperative focus is on monitoring the airway, bleeding, pharyngocutaneous fistula, and nutritional status, with the goal of removing the tumor and reconstructing the respiratory and communication passages. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific information should be based on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
