Manual for Use of Montgomery® Laryngeal, Tracheal, and Esophageal Prostheses

Abstract: This manual is designed to instruct the surgeon, nurse, and, directly or indirectly, the patient on the updated usage of prostheses involved with reconstructive surgery of the larynx, trachea, and esophagus. The silicone tracheal T-tube has been modified in an attempt to prevent its being displaced posteriorly into the trachea. The silicone tracheal cannula can be used in place of a tracheotomy tube unless there is aspiration or positive pressure breathing is required. Its success with sleep apnea has been esp… Show more

“…Airway stents have been used for many years as an essential adjunct in laryngotracheal reconstruction. 20–22 More recently, stents have been used successfully to overcome large airway obstruction resulting from malignant tracheal disease. 4,5,7,10,23–27 Different insertion techniques have been used to place stents under direct vision or under fluoroscopic control.…”

“…papilloma) or partial laryngectomy via open approach. Classically surgical treatment consists of open laryngofissure, synechia division and keel implantation for about 3 weeks [38]. Implantation and ex-plantation requiring an open approach and usually tracheostomy is time-consuming and uncomfortable for the patient.…”

“…Synechiebildungen in der vorderen Kommissur entstehen häufig nach transoralen Laser-Kehlkopfteilresektionen, aber auch nach Abtragungen benigner Befunde wie Papillomen sowie nach Kehlkopfteilresektionen von außen. Die klassische operative Therapie besteht in der Synechiedurchtrennung nach Laryngofissur und Einbringen eines Platzhalters aus Silikon, der wie ein Kiel zwischen die Stimmlippen ragt und auf den Laminae thyroideae fixiert wird und für etwa 3 Wochen in situ verbleibt[38]. Die Implantation und Explantation über einen offenen Zugang sowie die zumeist gegebene Notwendigkeit einer Tracheotomie bedeuten einen hohen Aufwand und eine erhebliche Patientenbelastung.…”

“…Die endoskopischen Platzhalter können aus Silikonfolie, PDS-Folie oder Silikonblöcken bestehen und werden in aller Regel individuell am OP-Tisch gefertigt. Der Larynx-Stent nach Montgomery[38] ist wie ein Abdruck des Endolarynx geformt und besteht aus röntgendichtem Silikon. Lieferbar in 4 verschiedenen Größen kann er zur postoperativen Schienung verwendet werden, insbesondere zur Anmodellierung von Schleimhauttransplantaten.…”
