Alternative Voice After Laryngectomy Using a Sound‐Producing Voice Prosthesis

Objective To improve the voice quality of female laryngectomees and/or laryngectomees with a hypotonic pharyngoesophageal (PE) segment by means of a pneumatic artificial source of voice incorporated in a regular tracheoesophageal (TE) shunt valve.
