[The voice of laryngectomized patients after receiving colonic or other intestinal transplant]. / La voix des laryngectomisés après coloplastie ou transplant intestinal.

This study reports the experience of our Rehabilitation Centre for laryngectomees un Albi regarding the acquisition of an esophageal voice in cases of circular total pharyngolaryngectomy, with restoration of continuity through intestinal or colic transplantation. Among eight rehabilitated patients, we obtained six good results with a voice allowing a conversation easily understood by relatives and friends. Thus, we think this continuity restoration method gives good phoniatric results.

[Neuroma of the larynx. One case (author's transl)]. / Schwannome du larynx. A porpos d'un cas.

Neuroma of the larynx is an isolated nerve tissue tumour in the majority of cases. Such tumours are relatively infrequent in the ENT area, but become extremely rare with regard to a laryngeal site. The present case is reported for its statistical interest. The present case is reported for its statistical interest. From a therapeutic standpoint, the authors share the general attitude that the treatment of a solitary neuroma is surgical, but that wide excision at the outset is essential, as demonstrated by this case which revealed that limited operation proved to be inadequate and that is was finally necessary to perform a total laryngectomy, which at first sight appears to be somewhat radical for a theoretically benign tumour.
