Objectives: Secondary tracheoesophageal (TE) puncture standardly involves placement of a catheter at time of TE fistula creation. We explore the feasibility of placement of the prosthesis at the time of TE puncture (TEP) obviating the need for a subsequent procedure to place the prosthesis. We descr

## Abstract ## Objectives/Hypothesis: Primary tracheoesophageal puncture (TEP) is a wellβdescribed and accepted method of surgical voice restoration and is standardly completed with a catheter placement intraoperatively, which is replaced with a prosthesis at a later date. This study evaluates the
Objective. To identify factors predicting prosthesis use and final speech quality in patients undergoing secondary tracheoesophageal puncture (TEP) for voice restoration after laryngectomy. Methods. We undertook a retrospective study of 168 patients who underwent secondary TEP at the Cleveland Clin
A retrospective census of 106 cases with tracheoesophageal puncture (TEP) compared success and complications in speech restoration between TEP coincidental with or subsequent to laryngectomy. The complications of those patients with primary TEP (68) were largely the effects of cancer and its treatme
