Abstract

Total laryngectomy remains an essential treatment for locally advanced laryngeal carcinoma. However, it involves lifestyle changes for the patient, such as the inability to communicate verbally, breathing or aesthetic changes, which affect their quality of life and require comprehensive rehabilitation. Speech rehabilitation is of utmost importance for these patients. Hence to provide comprehensive rehabilitation after total laryngectomy we have been running a successful laryngectomee club at our institute for the benefit of our patients. But when the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, declared the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak a global pandemic, many of our patients couldn't make their regular followup visits. We have successfully conducted the first ever online virtual meeting for our laryngectomee club members via video conferencing service.

摘要

全喉切除术仍然是局部晚期喉癌的重要治疗方法。然而，这会给患者带来生活方式的改变，比如无法进行言语交流、呼吸或外观变化，这些都会影响他们的生活质量，需要全面的康复治疗。言语康复对这些患者至关重要。因此，为了在全喉切除术后提供全面康复治疗，我们所在机构运营了一个成功的喉切除患者俱乐部，以造福我们的患者。但是，当世界卫生组织在2020年3月11日宣布新型冠状病毒（COVID-19）疫情为全球大流行时，我们的许多患者无法进行定期随访。我们通过视频会议服务成功地为喉切除患者俱乐部成员举办了有史以来的首次在线虚拟会议。
