The Dynamic Tracheoesophageal Prosthesis Length
Published by Elsevier Inc..
OBJECTIVE: In a postlaryngectomy patient, tracheoesophageal (TE) speech is considered to be the most effective and preferred method of communication. Previous research has demonstrated that despite an appropriately sized TE prosthesis placement at the time of puncture, there are a portion of patients that require resizing postoperatively. The purpose of this study was to report on the variability of the tracheoesophageal prosthesis length.
STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective chart review.
SETTING: Tertiary care academic medical center.
METHODS: This was a retrospective chart review of 62 patients who underwent secondary tracheoesophageal puncture (TEP) at a tertiary care academic medical center from January 2008 to November 2019. Patient demographic information, average changes in prosthesis length, number of prosthesis adjustments, and timing of prosthesis exchanges were collected.
RESULTS: 62 patients met criteria for study inclusion. Mean age was 61.96 years old with 49 being male (79%) and 13 (21%) females. Overall change in prosthesis length was - 3.85 mm ± 3.58 with time to first prosthesis change at 2.29 months ± 2.73. There was an average of 4.37 changes ± 3.43 before reaching a stable length. Twenty-six patients (41.9%) had increases in their prosthesis length resulting in closure of the tracheoesophageal fistula requiring seven patients (11.3%) to return to the operating room for repuncturing. History of smoking (P = 0.02), Blom-Singer prosthesis type (P = 0.03), and larger diameter (P = 0.01) appeared to be predisposing factors for a fluctuating prosthesis length.
CONCLUSION: Tracheoesophageal prosthesis length decreases over time for secondary punctures, requiring adjustments with a speech language pathologist. There are a clinically significant portion that have fluctuations in prosthesis length resulting in an increased risk for requiring re-puncturing.
