This practical guide aims to provide useful information that can help patients with laryngectomy and their carers to deal with health, dental and psychological problems. It also provides information on the side effects of radiation and chemotherapy, methods and procedures for voice formation after laryngectomy, airway care, stoma, filters and voice prosthesis. It deals with diet and swallowing issues, medical, dental and psychological problems, respiration and anesthesia, as well as laryngectomy travel. The handbook is not a substitute for professional health care, but I believe it will be very useful for patients after laryngectomy.
