Ingestion of voice prosthesis in patient with total laryngectomy: A case Report.

Granulomatous diseases, foreign bodies, trauma, surgical procedures, and the use of high pressure intubation tubes are the most common causes of acquired benign tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF). More frequent use of invasive procedures such as intubation, tracheostomy and mechanical ventilation increases the frequency of benign tracheoesophageal fistula development, especially in intensive care patients. In this case report, the patient with a history of total laryngectomy operation, aspirated the audio device secondary to the use of excessive force and the connection of the device to the gastrointestinal system due to the existing tracheoesophageal shunt.
