Question

the nurse is providing preoperative teaching for the patient who is to undergo a total laryngectomy. which nursing intervention is most important?

Answer 1

Most important nursing intervention after laryngectomy is that after surgery, your voice may return to normal but you will sound hoarse.

Since the false cords are removed during a supraglottic partial laryngectomy, patients may recover from surgery with a normal or raspy voice. A total laryngectomy patient won't have a natural voice. A laryngo-fissure patient will have a normal voice. A hemilaryngectomy patient will have hoarse voice. Thus, the patient after a total laryngectomy will have a hoarse voice.

The larynx can be removed in whole or in part through a laryngectomy (voice box). It entails making an incision (cut) over the Adam's apple region on the outside of the neck. Partial laryngectomy: In order to treat some laryngeal malignancies, only a portion of the voice box needs to be removed.
