Abstract
Intrraluminal manometric investigations in the hypopharynx and sphincter area post laryngectomy revealed pressure recordings of 54 mm Hg and 33 mm Hg, respectively, during the act of swallowing. Aspiration of saliva or food after a laryngectomy with a hypopharyngeal-tracheal shunt can be explained on these grounds.Entities:
