Laryngectomy is most commonly performed for laryngeal cancer that has grown too large or invasive for radiation or partial surgery alone to control, or for cancer that has recurred after previous treatment. It is also occasionally needed for severe trauma to the larynx or extensive radiation damage that has destroyed normal voice box function.

Signs You May Need Laryngectomy

Warning signs leading to this diagnosis include persistent hoarseness lasting more than a few weeks, a lump in the neck, difficulty or pain swallowing, unexplained weight loss, chronic cough, or coughing up blood. Difficulty breathing or a sensation of something stuck in the throat that worsens over time often prompts urgent ENT evaluation.

Types of Laryngectomy

Total laryngectomy removes the entire larynx along with the vocal cords, requiring a permanent opening (stoma) in the neck for breathing, while partial laryngectomy removes only the affected portion and can preserve some natural voice and swallowing function. Voice restoration after total laryngectomy is achieved through a tracheoesophageal puncture with a voice prosthesis, an electrolarynx device, or esophageal speech training.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I be able to speak after laryngectomy?

You will lose your natural voice after total laryngectomy, but most patients learn to speak again using a voice prosthesis, electrolarynx device, or esophageal speech with guidance from a speech-language pathologist.

How will I breathe after this surgery?

You will breathe through a permanent opening in your neck called a stoma rather than through your nose and mouth, which requires learning new care routines that your surgical team will teach you.

Can laryngeal cancer be treated without removing the entire larynx?

Early-stage cancers are often treated successfully with radiation or partial laryngectomy that preserves voice function, so a full laryngectomy is generally reserved for more advanced or recurrent disease.

How long is recovery after laryngectomy?

Hospital stay is typically ten to fourteen days with full recovery taking six to eight weeks, plus ongoing rehabilitation for speech, swallowing, and stoma care.

Will I still be able to eat normally?

Most patients return to eating by mouth after healing, though swallowing therapy may be needed initially, and your surgical team will guide you through a gradual return to a normal diet.
