About Laryngectomy
Laryngectomy removes the voice box, most often for advanced laryngeal cancer. Afterwards you breathe through a permanent opening in the neck and learn a new way to speak.
A total laryngectomy separates the airway from the throat and creates a stoma at the base of the neck for breathing, while the food pipe is kept intact for swallowing. Neck lymph nodes are often removed. A tracheoesophageal puncture and valve may be placed to allow voice, and partial laryngectomy is sometimes possible for smaller tumours, preserving some of the voice.
Usually a good fit if
- Advanced laryngeal or hypopharyngeal cancer not suitable for voice-preserving treatment, or cancer that has returned after radiotherapy.
- A tumour judged removable on scans and endoscopy by a head and neck multidisciplinary team.
- Willing and able to learn new methods of speaking and stoma care.
May need to wait if
- Early cancers may be treated with laser surgery or radiotherapy that preserves the voice instead.
- Spread to distant organs or tumours fixed to the skull base or major vessels may be unresectable.
- Severe lung disease or malnutrition need optimisation first.
How to prepare
- Bring biopsy, endoscopy, CT, MRI or PET-CT results so the extent of surgery can be planned.
- Meet the speech and language therapist before surgery to learn about voice options and stoma care.
- Stop smoking and alcohol; both slow healing and raise the risk of problems at the throat closure.
- Have a dental review and discuss nutrition, since eating will pause for several days.
- Ask your doctor about adjusting blood thinners and diabetes treatment.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- Is total laryngectomy really needed, or could radiation or partial surgery preserve my voice?
- Which voice option will I have: prosthesis, electrolarynx or oesophageal speech?
- Will a neck dissection or flap be needed?
- How is the stoma cared for and who teaches me?
- What is the risk of a leak at the throat and how is it treated?
- Who provides speech therapy and prosthesis changes near my home?
Red flags when comparing hospitals
- Total laryngectomy is recommended without discussing organ-preserving options.
- No speech and language therapist is involved before and after surgery.
- No guidance on stoma care, humidifiers or emergency breathing.
- The team cannot discuss prosthesis replacement and local support.

How long do I need to stay in Germany?

How long does a medical visa for Germany take?
Schengen Medical Treatment Visa (Type C or D): processing takes about 10 days and the visa is valid for 90 days. We help with the hospital invitation letter.
Will I be able to speak?
Yes, usually with therapy. Most people use a voice prosthesis, an electrolarynx or oesophageal speech, and your speech therapist helps choose the best method.
How do I breathe afterwards?
Through the stoma in the neck, permanently. Air no longer passes through the nose or mouth, so humidification and stoma care are important.
Can I swim or shower?
Showering is fine with a stoma cover. Swimming is generally unsafe because water could enter the airway.
Can I smell and taste?
Smell is reduced because air no longer flows through the nose, though techniques can help. Taste is usually preserved.
