Abstract/OtherAbstract:
In managing the patient with chronic aspiration, physicians must have an understanding of normal swallowing physiology as well as swallowing pathology and laryngeal incompetence induced by neurologic, anatomic, and postsurgical insults. We herein review these concepts, and elaborate upon techniques used in evaluation and surgical management of patients exhibiting significant and potentially life-threatening aspiration events.
