Abstract

The article focuses on voice restoration through esophageal speech, electrolarynx, and surgical voice restoration (SVR) using a valve in alaryngeal speakers. It states that total laryngectomy remains the procedure of choice for advanced-stage laryngeal cancer. Today, the SVR technique has become the preferred method for voice restorations.
