Dysphagia, Laryngeal Neoplasms, Swallowing Disorders

Keywords

Larynx, tracheotomy, titanium beads

Brief summary

Supplement pharyngolaryngeal deficient functions by insertion of a prosthesis with valves in order to allow tracheotomy closing (when applicable) and / or to allow restoration of god swallowing capacity. The secondary objective is to study the concept of a special valves system for the development of an artificial larynx

Interventions

DEVICEImplantation of intralaryngeal prosthesis with a new double valve system, allowing tracheotomy closing

An artificial Larynx composed of a tracheobronxane ® Dumon ST prosthesis and a valves system will be implant under general anesthesia by endoscopy. The 3 first patients will be patients with tracheotomy, in order to allow breathing through this tracheotomy in case of valves dysfunction.
