COMPLICATIONS OF TRACHEOESOPHAGAL BYPASSING WITH PROSTHETICS AFTER LARINGECTOMY AT COVID-19-POSITIVE PATIENT

Laryngectomy for laryngeal cancer is the treatment of choice in these patients. Rehabilitation of patients with voice impairment is not an easy task. For the purpose of rehabilitation, tracheoesophageal bypass (TEB) is performed. When examining patients with TPS, medical personnel must be protected by personal protective equipment. Patients with PSI are at high risk for aspiration pneumonia. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, patients after laryngectomy with tracheoesophageal bypass surgery with prosthetics need to be given special attention. When infected with SARSCoV-2, these patients are at a special risk group. They need special conditions in the clinic - special care and rehabilitation.
