Introduction: According to the prevalence of sexual enjoyment reduction in total or partial laryngectomy patients, the present study aimed to evaluate sexual disorders among men who had undergone total laryngectomy.
Materials And Methods: In this cross-sectional case-control study, purposive sampling was carried out to select all the samples that had experienced total laryngectomy. The control group was selected among the male patients who were referred for a routine checkup. In order to compare the groups, the international index of erectile function (IIEF) was performed, and the data were statistically analyzed in SPSS software (version 21).
Results: Based on the obtained results, laryngectomy patients had experienced problems with sexual problems, especially in the field of erectile function, sexual desire, and intercourse satisfaction (P<001).
Conclusions: According to various studies, sexual dissatisfaction negatively impacts the Quality of life. This problem, commonly observed in total laryngectomy patients, needs to be considered.

Background: Laryngeal cancer often leads to total laryngectomy (TL), which results in the loss of natural voice, necessitates voice rehabilitation and affects the individuals Quality of Life (QoL). Despite advancements in treatment, Voice-Related QoL (VRQoL) post TL remains a neglected area in the field of rehabilitation. This study seeks to fill this gap by evaluating though a scoping review the impacts of TL on patients' voice-related QoL.

Clinical swallow examination (CSE) following laryngectomy (± pharyngeal resection) remains a critical step in dysphagia evaluation. Whilst the core components of a standard CSE service a broad spectrum of patient populations, no evidence exists examining the essential assessment items specific to CSE in the laryngectomy population. The aim of this study was to identify the tasks, measures and observations considered necessary to include in a CSE post laryngectomy.

Compensatory swallow strategies are recommended to improve swallow safety and efficiency; however, there is limited evidence on use in specific populations or their relationship to swallow study results. We sought to describe/explore strategy recommendations in an oncology practice and their relationship to Dynamic Imaging Grade of Swallowing Toxicity (DIGEST) grades as a marker of clinical utility of the tool. This is a sub-study of a STARI-guided retrospective implementation evaluation at a single comprehensive cancer center.
