This study is based on a questionaire sent to members of the German laryngectomee association. The analyses of the answers provide important positive and negative information concerning the rehabilitation: Generally the patient was reintegrated into the family without incident. 59.2% learned oesophageal voice, but 28% acquired no effective substitute voice. 39% of patients and 51% of their relatives did not become acquainted with first-aid for neck-breathers (mouth to neck resuscitation). 19.5% resumed their former work. During the preoperative course, 36% of the patients waited 3 to 6 months from the beginning of their complaints to the first medical consultation. In 51% of the cases the interval from first complaints to the surgical treatment was more than three months. These results demonstrate shortcomings in rehabilitation which require attention.
本研究基于一份发给德国喉切除患者协会成员的调查问卷。对答案的分析提供了有关康复的重要正面和负面信息：一般来说，患者顺利地重新融入了家庭。59.2%的患者学会了食管发音，但28%的患者没有获得有效的替代发声方式。39%的患者及其51%的亲属不了解针对颈部呼吸者的急救方法（口对口颈部复苏）。19.5%的患者恢复了以前的工作。在术前阶段，36%的患者从开始出现症状到首次就医等待了3至6个月。在51%的病例中，从首次出现症状到手术治疗的间隔超过了三个月。这些结果表明康复存在不足之处，需要引起关注。
