 note = {Tracheal resection is used in cases of advanced thyroid carcinoma invading the trachea,and in some of these cases a large tracheostoma is left temporarily or permanently.We fabricated a tracheal obturator using dental materials and techniques,and applied it in 5 patients with a large and/or irregular tracheostoma.Our experiences showed the fabrication method to be easy and safe.The patients could achieve reasonable speech with the obturator. However, they had to use some devices to retain the prosthesis and some of them complained of discomfort and difficulty while wearing it. From our experiences in 5 patients,we concluded that the obturator is a useful prosthesis for patients with a large and irregular-shaped tracheostoma,although some improvement is still necessary for more comfortable use., Article, application/pdf, 信州医学雑誌 49(4): 207-212(2001)},
