| | How Does a Tracheotomy Work? - Will Rehnquist be able to talk next week? By Brendan I. Koerner |
| | A big factor in determining Rehnquist's verbal recovery time is whether or not his vocal cords are damaged. | | | (In thyroid cancer patients like Rehnquist, a tracheotomy is usually performed either as a prelude to surgery or because the illness has complicated breathing.) After that, he can start working on speech, perhaps with the aid of a speech therapist. | | | Though a tracheotomy is a routine, relatively low-risk procedure that can take as little as 15 minutes to perform, there's no telling how quickly Rehnquist will recover. |
