ABSTRACT
Our initial experience of 9 primary tracheo oesophageal punctures with Blom Singer prosthesis is reported. Patient selection was based on motivation, intelligence and socioeconomic status. Excellent speech resulted in 7 out of 9 patients (77%), with 2 failures (23%). There were no major complications. The results are encouraging, but a larger study is required to determine the role of this procedure in our conditions.
