[Social assistance to the laryngectomized. Concerning a survey of 150 operated persons].

The authors communicate the result of an inquest on 150 laryngectomized patients, members of their hospital rehabilitation center. A statistical study was made on the correlation between the different factors which may influence the results. The inquest shows that information of the patient, his family and occupational environment is not effective enough. The influence of the laryngectomized patient, working fulltime in the rehabilitation center, is of a great importance related to the difficulties during the vocal revalidation process and the social reintegration of the laryngectomized patients.
