Paul’s Story: Unique Reconstructive Procedure Removes Laryngeal Cancer and Preserves Voice Box

In 2019, Cincinnati native Paul Deutschle was diagnosed with an extremely rare form of laryngeal cancer. Originally told he would need to have his voicebox removed, he and his wife looked for other options.
Then they found the University of Cincinnati Cancer Center.

Hi, I had a total laryngectomy 8 years ago at a hospital here in the UK. I don’t know whether or not your treatment is available here, but I was very impressed with your outcome. It’s a hard thing to live with and I really miss my voice. However I’m most grateful for all the help and support I’ve received to date. Good luck going forward. 🇬🇧

How can i talk to some one about this. I might have a reoccurance of laryngeal cancer and my head and beech surgeon says the only option i have is removal of my voice box.

I had a total laryngectomy on August 4th 2023, wish i had this procedure. I live alone and cannot speak, it sucks

I am in your same situation so I hear you. I had a total laryngectomy earlier this year and waiting for a speaking tep/prosthesis to be able to speak. Aren't you going to get one?

@@MKS700-vv3tt I finally found a speech pathologist who is talking with my surgeon. My plan is to get the tep procedure and hopefully placement of a voice prosthesis here in a few weeks
