Multi-institutional Assessment of the Provox 2 Voice Prosthesis

Abstract: The results of the initial study concerning ease of use for the medical professionals and decreased discomfort for the patients of the new anterograde replacement procedure of the Provox 2 prosthesis were confirmed. The device life of Provox and that of Provox 2 were comparable, despite the alterations needed to optimize the Provox 2 prosthesis for the anterograde procedure.

“…Several antifungal drugs, and their effects on the lifetime of VPs, have been studied (Ackerstaff et al, 1999;Andriole, 1999;Bauters et al, 2002;Mahieu et al, 1986;Van Weissenbruch et al, 1997a, b). Oropharyngeal yeast decontamination using amphotericin B lozenges and buccal adhesive slow-release tablets containing miconazole nitrate has been applied by otolaryngologists to increase the lifetime of VPs (Mahieu et al, 1986;Van Weissenbruch et al, 1997a, b).…”

“…1) leading to the failure of the devices (Leunisse et al, 2001;Oosterhof et al, 2005;Rodrigues et al, 2007). As a result, VPs need to be replaced regularly and lifespan varies from several days to months or years (Ackerstaff et al, 1999). Non-indwelling devices can be removed and replaced by the patient for cleansing, but numerous displacements and fistula formation have been reported (Andrews et al, 1987;Blom et al, 1986;Manni & Van Den Broek, 1990;Van Weissenbruch et al, 1997a, b).…”

“…6 Both studies suggest a lower than previously estimated average of 4 to 6 months duration of VPs in contemporary users prior to TE prosthesis failure. 4,10,11 Accurate estimations of device life are critical to set realistic expectations for postlaryngectomy voice rehabilitation for both health care providers and patients. Preoperative counseling is considered best practice for the patient considering total laryngectomy with or without a TEP procedure.…”

“…Somit ist dieses Wechselsystem deutlich patientenfreundlicher, wie auch unsere Befragung zur Akzeptanz zeigte. Das bestätigt die ersten Mitteilungen der Arbeitsgruppen um Hilgers [5,6]. Neben der besseren Akzeptanz durch die Patienten sind der schnellere Wechsel und die einfachere Durchführbarkeit für den Operateur erwähnenswert.…”
