  • Dejavniki, ki vplivajo na učenje ezofagealn[e]ga govora = Factors influencing the learning of esophageal speech
    Šereg Bahar, Maja ...
    The possibilities of alaryngeal communication following laryngectomy include esophageal speech, electrolarynx and tracheoesophageal speech. The aim of thisstudy was to determine the influence of ... various factors on the mastery of esophageal speech.124 patients were included in the study. They were treated for laryngeal (80 patients) or hypopharyngeal (44 patients) cancer between oneand 20 years ago. The data on tumour localisation, extent and mode of treatment were obtained from the patients' medical documentation. The patients' motor capacity for articulation and the quality of their esophageal speech were assessed. The results were evaluated statistically using chi2-testand t-test, as well as linear and logistic regression. The tumour localisation (p < 0.01) and type of surgery (p < 0.001) are the most importantfactors influencing the mastery of esophageal speech. Velopharyngeal insufficiency is also a significant negative factor (p < 0.04). The motor capacity of the articulation organs is also important, but not significantly (p < 0.06). Mastery of esophageal speech is significantly lower (p < 0.002) inpatients who had surgery less than 3 years ago. Location of the tumor in thehypopharynx is associated with a significantly lower probability that the patient will master esophageal speech. A normal motor capacity of articulationorgans is needed for the acquisition of newly formed motor patterns that are necessary for mastering esophageal speech. Laryngectomees can successfully master this type of alaryngeal communication even several years after laryngectomy.
