Assessment of swallow function pre and post‐endoscopic CO2 laser medial arytenoidectomy: a case series

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader

Abstract

Endoscopic CO2 laser medial arytenoidectomy is performed for glottic stenosis however post-operative aspiration remains a risk Pre-operative and post-operative objective and subjective assessments of swallow function were evaluated There was no statistically significant difference when comparing pre- and post-operative penetration-aspiration scores or subjective swallow function If baseline swallow is impaired, this should not preclude the patient from arytenoidectomy; baseline FEES is essential to aid surgical planning and inform patient consent 'Staged arytenoidectomy' should be performed as a swallow-preserving procedure
