In 1981, Panje reported the voice button technique as a simple method for vocal rehabilitation following laryngectomy. The present paper describes our experience with the voice button applied to a 74-year-old male. The surgical proceduce was simple and the patient learned to speak very easily, although, there were two minor problems. One problem was caused by the too large tracheostoma (8mm×25mm). This was solved by a surgical correction. The other problem was brought about by an excessive resistance at the outlet of the button. The aerodynamic resistance measured 157 to 343 dyne. sec/cm5. This was managed by enlarging the slits at the outlet.
