REGAINING THE SENSE OF SMELL AFTER LARYNGECTOMYCorrect application of this smell technique is more difficult than it initially might seem to be. Especially the refined polite-yawning technique can be difficult to master. Therefore, an illustrated text book, including a patient manual (page 60), is available at the website of the Netherlands Cancer Institute. This describes what you can do when you have trouble to carry out the polite-yawning smell technique. This link might also be interesting to share with your SLP, in case she/he is not familiar with this technique. If, despite studying this manual, the application of the polite-yawning technique still remains difficult for you, it is advisable to (again) ask the SLP for help and guidance.Success with regaining your sense of smell!© NKI-AvL The authors grant permission after proper notification and acknowledgment (kno@nki.nl) to copy and use the de texts and (without editing) the videos in this digital for patient care, education, and research.
