Wounded Marine Speaks After Larynx Restoration
In Boston a Viet Cong ambush survivor, Lance Cpl. Walter Lopata, 25, spoke for the first time since Oct. 11 after surgeons at Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary rebuilt his voice with a skin graft tube and neck valves. The two stage operation, performed by Dr. William Montgomery, could expand for about 70 percent of cancer patients who lose a voice box. The method aims for normal breathing and voiced speech, unlike esophageal speech, with critical valve closure to prevent aspiration.
