Pharyngography in the Postoperative Patient

  • Chapter
Normal and Abnormal Swallowing

Abstract

There are numerous operations involving the oral cavity, oropharynx, larynx, and hypo-pharynx. This chapter focuses on anatomy and complications in the postoperative patient, including surgery for malignant tumors involving the oral cavity, larynx, and pharynx, or for abnormalities in the pharyngoesophageal segment such as Zenker’s diverticulum or “cricopharyngeal achalasia.”
