A review of postsurgical dysphagia in nonmalignant disease
Current Opinion in Otolaryngology & Head and Neck Surgery, 2016
This article reviews current literature regarding postsurgical dysphagia in nonmalignant disease examining the current recommendations, risk factors, and potential implications. Surgical interventions including anterior cervical spine surgery, thyroidectomy, laryngeal and pulmonary, cardiac, esophageal and fundoplication, gastric and bariatric, and posterior fossa surgeries are known to result in swallowing dysfunction. Postsurgical dysphagia may increase the length of hospitalization, overall cost, risk of pneumonia, and time to oral intake. There are limited prospective research studies examining postsurgical dysphagia and poorly understood causes. The results are unclear regarding severity, symptom type, duration, and treatment outcomes of postsurgical dysphagia.
