Tracheoesophageal puncture (TEP) with use of a voice prosthesis is widely accepted as an excellent method of postlaryngectomy vocal rehabilitation. Many patients with advanced cancer require postoperative radiotherapy (RT), while other cancer patients have been treated with RT as a primary treatment and come to laryngectomy for salvage. The influence of RT on outcome of the TEP procedure with respect to successful speech and potential complications has not been widely discussed. We retrospectively reviewed 77 consecutive cases of TEP in patients who had received RT and laryngectomy for laryngeal cancer. All cases had a minimum of 6 months of follow-up. All 77 patients were successful in obtaining speech with the TEP, and 75 (97%) continued to be TEP users thereafter. Eight patients (10%) developed complications in the course of treatment. There was no mortality. In selected patients, TEP after RT is a relatively safe and effective method of vocal rehabilitation.
