The Utility of Barium Swallow Studies for Evaluation of Pharyngocutaneous Fistula After Total Laryngectomy

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The authors review the accuracy of barium swallow studies in the assessment of post-laryngectomy pharyngocutaneous fistula. The findings are significant in that they will help guide practitioners in swallow assessment decision making and perhaps lead to a standardized protocol.
