ABSTRACT
This paper addresses our experience with primary (15 patients) and secondary (8 patients) tracheo-oesophageal puncture (TEP) in the laryngectomee. Despite a success rate of 93.3 percent in the primary TEP and 62.5 percent in secondary TEP, in a follow-up period of one month to eight years, prosthesis related problems like maintenance and recurring expenses emerged as significant deterrent factors in adopting prosthetic speech rehabilitation. Successful oesophageal speech training, increased practice of Pearson's near total laryngectomy, prior tracheostomy and advanced disease mandating post-operative radiotherapy in majority of patients are some of the factors in addition to prosthesis after-care maintenance that makes TEP a less practiced option at our center.
