Massachusetts Man Marty Kedian Speaks Again After Pioneering Voice Box Transplant at Mayo Clinic
Jul 9, 2024, 02:50 PM
A rare voice box transplant has enabled a Massachusetts man, Marty Kedian from Haverhill, to speak again following a pioneering medical procedure. The transplant, performed as part of a clinical trial at the Mayo Clinic, marks the world's first known successful total larynx transplant in a patient with active cancer. Kedian, who is 59 years old, is the third person in the U.S. to undergo this procedure. Despite still being hoarse, he can now maintain hour-long conversations and has retained his Boston accent. An Arizona clinic also participated in the pioneering study. This groundbreaking surgery offers hope to other cancer patients who have lost their voices.
