Total laryngectomy is a mutilating operation on several levels. Our study quantifies the automatic reactions of a randomized sample of the population to voice mutilation. The rehabilitation voice represents an important part of the daily difficulties of a laryngectomized person. Studying the stigmatizing dimensions that characterize it enables us to envisage a social explanation for this marginalization, to better understand its psychological and behavioral repercussions. These data are also intended to help patients, their families and caregivers to gain a better understanding of the workings of this stigmatization, so as to better understand and combat it.
