Abstract

A secondary tracheo-oesophageal puncture is required for voice restoration post-laryngectomy either for reasons of closure of the primary fistula or as a planned secondary procedure. A method of doing this safely is described using an endotracheal tube and a flexible nasopharyngoscope in especially difficult cases.
