Presence of artificial larynx - what does this mean

The presence of an artificial larynx is typically due to a previous laryngectomy, in which the larynx (voice box) is surgically removed due to cancer or other medical conditions. the artificial larynx is then used to generate sound and help the patient to communicate.

What happens during the disease - presence of artificial larynx

The presence of an artificial larynx can be caused by a variety of conditions, including trauma, congenital malformations, or cancer. in some cases, the larynx may be surgically removed due to malignancy or other medical complications. when a patient is unable to use their natural larynx, an artificial larynx is used to provide a source of air and sound for communication. the artificial larynx works by providing a vibration to the air that passes through it, which produces sound. this sound is then sent to the patient’s vocal cords, allowing them to produce speech.
