Dysphagia Representation and Organization
Hello, I noticed that throughout the article and especially within the 'Quality of Life' section there seems to be a lack of information regarding dysphagia, which is often experienced after total laryngectomy. I think this is an important element to add to the article.

I also found the sections "Identification" and "The airways and ventilation after laryngectomy" to be a bit unintuitive and distracting to the article's readability. Maybe it could be divided into "pre-laryngectomy" (in place of "identification"), and "post-laryngectomy"? That way airway and ventilation, complications, rehabilitations, and quality of life could all fall under "post-laryngectomy". Kirs29 (talk) 22:17, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

Voice Restoration
I noticed in the 'Voice Restoration' section that there is a lack of information regarding voice therapy. Although there seems to be a good overview of available methods for voice prosthesis, I would like to expand on the therapy strategies that would be used concurrently during rehabilitation.

Quality of Life
Hi. I noticed that there is a lack of information specific to dysphagia experienced by laryngectomy patients and how this affects a person's quality of life. I will add information regarding this as well as a role a speech-language pathologist can play in improving quality of life as it pertains to swallowing.Char02 (talk) 20:01, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

I plan to use these two sources. &
