Deglutition after supra-glottic laryngectomy.
This study of swallowing after a horizontal supra-glottic laryngectomy proposes to analyze the frequency of long-term post-operative complications, their mechanisms of onset, as well as their compensatory mechanisms. It rests on the study of three groups of patients: a retrospective series of 74 charts, a group of 14 patients studied at a distance from the intervention, and a group of 15 patients who have been entered in a prospective study concerning the post-operative care of partial laryngectomies. For these two groups, the swallowing work-up consisted of, besides a clinical evaluation, a video-laryngoscopy and a video-radioscopy. Knowledge of the compensatory possibilities as a function of the specifics of the surgical technique, and their evaluation for each patient with video-radioscopy allows for an adapted care protocol.
