As a result, there has been little progress in diagnosing and treating dysphagias involving this area. In this study, three specimens of the UES obtained from human autopsies were examined by S
The developments of tracheoesophageal puncture and voice prosthesis for alaryngeal speech rehabilitation directed attention to the anatomy and physiology of the pharyngoesophageal segment. A reproducible tracheoesophageal shunt in a large number of patients permitted the largest study population for
