The objective of the present study was to relate the dimensions and the intraluminal pressure of the pharyngoesophageal segment (PES) to the voice and speech proficiency of total laryngectomees with a tracheoesophageal prosthesis (TEP).
Twenty total laryngectomees with secondary TEP insertion underwent evaluation of voice and speech, manometry, and videofluoroscopy.
Most laryngectomees (65%) were moderate speakers. The poorer speakers presented a lower intraluminal pressure in the PES at rest (4.44 mmHg) and a higher value (40.46 mmHg) during phonation. Good speakers presented a significant difference in the anteroposterior distance between prominence of the PES and the posterior pharyngeal wall (PPES-PPW) in the rest (6.09 mm) to phonation (3.24 mm).
The poorer speakers presented a lower intraluminal pressure in the PES at rest and a higher value during phonation compared with moderate speakers. Good speakers showed a significant difference in the PPES-PPW dimension.
本研究的目的是将咽食管段(PES)的尺寸和腔内压力与带气管食管假体(TEP)的全喉切除术后患者的声音和言语能力联系起来。
20 名接受二次 TEP 植入的全喉切除术后患者接受了声音和言语评估、测压和透视检查。
大多数喉切除术后患者(65%)为中度发音者。较差的发音者在 PES 休息时的腔内压力较低(4.44mmHg),发音时的压力较高(40.46mmHg)。良好的发音者在 PES 突出部和后咽壁(PPES-PPW)在休息时(6.09mm)和发音时(3.24mm)之间的前后距离有显著差异。
与中度发音者相比,较差的发音者在 PES 休息时的腔内压力较低,发音时的压力较高。良好的发音者在 PPES-PPW 尺寸上有显著差异。
