title = "Voice restoration by tracheo-tracheolaryngeal shunt after laryngotracheal diversion for chronic aspiration",
abstract = "In patients with intractable aspiration it is often necessary to separate the upper airway from the lower tracheobronchial structures. It is possible to achieve voice restoration after laryngotracheal separation by creating a shunt between the distal posterior tracheal stoma wall and the proximal laryngotracheal segment. This physiological approach differs from alaryngeal tracheo-esophageal puncture techniques in that voice is generated from a structurally intact residual larynx.",
