Conclusion
People who have a total laryngectomy
for cancer of the larynx are faced with tremendous
physical and emotional challenges.
Anxiety about cancer and the permanent
loss of normal voice affects them in
every aspect of their lives.
As members of the health-care team,
nurses play a vital role in providing these
patients with the necessary support, education,
and care, so they will have a safe and
smooth transition back into society.
