👉 Laryngectomy is a surgical procedure that involves removing part of the larynx, or voice box. It is often performed to treat conditions such as tracheal insufficiency (a condition where there is not enough air in the trachea, which is the tube that carries air and coughs through) or pneumonia. Laryngectomy can be done as an outpatient procedure, which means you might need to go back to your doctor's office within a few days after the operation
