This study compares the psychological adjustment and voice function of patients undergoing voice rehabilitation using the free ileocolon flap for creation of a voice tube shunt and patients undergoing voice rehabilitation using the pneumatic artificial larynx. Twelve laryngectomy patients were included; six underwent free ileocolon transfer following a period of pneumatic artificial larynx use. Mean duration after laryngectomy was 5.2 years. Mean follow-up was 210 days. A chart review, questionnaires and a prospective evaluation were performed. Voice tube shunt patients had better speech function and higher self-esteem. People's discrimination and appearance when speaking were important in the patients' choice of method for rehabilitation. There was a high preference for choosing the voice tube shunt and a higher motivation and willingness to use that voice mechanism in the voice tube shunt group. Patients who undergo free flap reconstruction of voice have better speech function and self-esteem than patients who continue to use the external pneumatic device. Psychological assessments are important for surgical patients in order to evaluate a critical aspect of our perceived success - the patients' perception.
