1. Learn how to care for the stoma Every laryngectomy patient or family member must learn how to care for the stoma. Before discharge, the patient or family should learn how to change and clean the tracheal tube, suction and care for the stoma. If the area around the stoma is kept clean, the skin will rarely become inflamed. 2.Cautions when shaving When male patients shave, they should remember that the skin of the neck may feel numb for several months after surgery. To avoid shaving, it is best to use an electric razor until the skin of the neck feels normal again. 3. Tracheostomy cover Most patients will continue to use tracheostomy coverings after treatment. These coverings, such as scarves, ties, and special bibs, are both useful and aesthetically pleasing and keep the inside and outside of the cannula moist. These covers also filter the inhaled air as the laryngectomized person may be sensitive to dust and smoke. Be aware that the bib of the stoma may stick to the patient due to sneezing or coughing discharges. 4. Pay attention to maintaining environmental humidity When the air is too dry, such as in winter in a heated room where the trachea or lungs produce more sputum, the skin around the stoma may also be dry and prone to bleeding. Using an air humidifier in the home or office will reduce these problems. 5.Physical therapy Patients who have had neck surgery may find that their necks have become thinner, and their necks and arms are not as mobile as they used to be. Doctors may recommend physical therapy to help patients return to normal as much as possible. 6.Choose the appropriate form of exercise Laryngectomy patients cannot control their breathing after surgery, so excessive exertion and heavy work may be more difficult. And laryngectomy patients should give up swimming and water skiing type of sports unless they have special training and appropriate equipment, because water can enter the airway or lungs through the stoma, which is very dangerous. A special plastic stoma protector should be worn when showering or shaving to prevent water from entering the stoma.
