With advanced head and neck surgical infrastructure, Life Kingsbury Hospital offers Laryngectomy for patients requiring surgical treatment of selected laryngeal conditions. Established in 1918, the accredited hospital is located in Cape Town, South Africa, and has 212 beds.

Depending on the disease, surgery may involve removal of part or all of the voice box. The surgical team aims to remove the affected tissue while preserving swallowing and voice function whenever clinically possible. For total laryngectomy, patients require a permanent tracheostoma. Pre-operative assessment also includes planning for speech rehabilitation and post-operative recovery.
