et al.
The data associated with this publication are not available for this reason: N/A
Abstract

Tracheoesophageal puncture (TEP) is the gold standard for voice rehabilitation after total laryngectomy (TL). TEP voicing can be challenging & unpredictable. The dynamicswallow study is a fluoroscopic swallow study part of standard clinical care prior to TEP placement. The study aimed to determine which objective dynamic swallow study (DSS) parameters predict improved voice outcomes in patients who have TEP placement.
