Summary
SUMMARY Introduction: Total laryngectomy is a surgical technique that consists of the total removal of the larynx in patients with mainly laryngeal cancer. Removal involves a series of alterations and modifications in physical and psychological factors, which require qualified health personnel to monitor and support the patient's management in terms of learning, self-care and coping in daily life and perception. Justification: Total laryngectomy involves a series of postoperative complications which cause multiple consequences for the patient that the nursing team must be aware of to better adapt their own care at this stage. Objectives: Main objective is to assess nursing care in post-laryngectomy patients and its impact on quality of life. Material and methods: Databases such as: Pubmed, Dialnet Plus, Scopus and web pages have been used. Keywords: “laryngectomy”, “laryngectomized”, “nursing care” and “quality of life”, filters, Boolean operators and mesh terms Results: They demonstrate that health personnel, specifically nursing personnel, play a fundamental role in the care of laryngectomized patients both in the postoperative period and after hospital discharge. This care is very specific and requires adequate and updated training of the nursing team to promote the patient's recovery and rehabilitation, along with their self-care and acceptance of the new lifestyle. Conclusions: Consensus was found that the care by the nursing team in post-laryngectomy patients seeks to effectively influence the improvement of their quality of life, seen as a fundamental aspect in the recovery process both in the postoperative period and after hospital discharge. However, this work to recover patients also requires the collaboration of their families and their closest circle.
