Abstract: Total laryngectomy is the procedure in which the throat is completely eliminated as well as the air passage is interrupted, respiration being executed via a tracheal stoma arising from bringing the trachea to the skin in the reduced, former, cervical location. We aimed by this article to overview the Total laryngectomy from several aspects, and mostly to imprecise the surgical techniques, the complications and, the post-surgical outcomes. We have undertaken an extensive review of the literature using several medical databases; MIDLINE, and EMBASE are the most that we conducted our study through, searched involved studies from time of instance up to the 2017. We identified studies only which published in English language and with human subjects. This review was concerned to these studies involving the discussion of any aspect of Total laryngectomy. Patients with cancer of the throat had a substantially much better survival complying with complete laryngectomy compared to patients with partial larnyectomy. The growth of efficient methods for decreasing and/ or avoiding such respiratory system issues would contribute dramatically to enhancing the lifestyle of laryngectomized patients. New medical methods and also voice prostheses have raised the populace of patient’s ideal for TE voice reconstruction. This has a positive effect on the lifestyle for patients going through total laryngectomy.
