β¦ Synopsis
This study assessed the achievement of postoperative swallowing in patients, undergoing partial laryngectomy surgery. Oropharyngeal swallow efficiency was used to predict time to achievement of outcome. Fifty-five patients were followed for up to 1 year in two hemilaryngectomy and four supraglottic laryngectomy groups. Within 10 days of healing, a videofluoroscopic evaluation enabled the measurement of swallowing efficiency. Times to achievement of oral intake, removal of feeding tube, preoperative diet, and normal swallow were analyzed using ac-From the

Results are presented for repeated videofluoroscopic and scintigraphic examinations of a supraglottic latyngectomy patient, illustrating the successful use and later changes in a compensatory swallow. Issues in patient management are outlined, stressing the importance of interaction between radiolog
