Rehabilitation of voice and speech after laryngectomy with valve prosthesis has become a well-established practice in recent years. The formation of tracheo-oesophageal fistula (TOF) and the subsequent management of the patient with a voice prosthesis can be associated with a number of problems and complications.

We report a new technique of the use of injectable Bioplastique® in the treatment of persistent leakage around Provox® 2 voice prosthesis. Our experience in two cases has shown that it is a relatively simple and effective procedure in stopping the leak around the valve immediately and is without any short-term complications.
