Best Answer

positive, you regain your voice and swallow
negative, you may need to have it reinserted if it was placed for cronic disease like advanced COPD. Usually we cover the site for a week with a bulk dressing and if the patient tolerates it, then we consider closing the trache site. Usually it just heals closed without even a suture.
