Abstract
Singer and Blom published in 1980 their technique of the tracheo-oesophageal puncture (T-E puncture), including the application of the first commercially manufactured valve prosthesis. With this method, they started an ever-broadening interest in the voice rehabilitation of patients without a larynx. In the last 20 years different variations of this prosthesis have been developed, which have been tested successfully with several thousand patients [1,2].
