Abstract
The article provides a review of the literature on the problems of voice prosthetics that specialists face in real clinical practice. A comparison of this method with other methods of restoring vocal function is presented, and non-standard clinical cases of treating patients with malignant tumors of the larynx who underwent laryngectomy with tracheoesophageal bypass surgery and the installation of a vocal prosthesis are described.
