Excision of the voice box, also known as laryngectomy, is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of all or part of the larynx (voice box). This operation is typically performed to treat conditions such as cancer of the larynx, severe trauma, or other diseases that affect the voice box's function. Following the procedure, patients may require rehabilitation to adapt to changes in breathing and speech, often using alternative communication methods such as tracheoesophageal speech or electronic devices.
