Open Partial Horizontal Laryngectomy (OPHL) Type IIa surgery is a conservative surgical technique used in the treatment of laryngeal carcinomas. In this pilot study, we aimed to characterize swallowing function and physiology in a series of patients after OPHL Type IIa surgery through comparison to healthy reference values for quantitative measures for videofluoroscopy. We performed retrospective quantitative analysis of videofluoroscopy recordings of thin liquid swallows for a preliminary sample of 10 male patients. Each videofluoroscopy clip was rated in triplicate by trained blinded raters according to the ASPEKT Method (Analysis of Swallowing Physiology: Events, Kinematics and Timing). This preliminary sample of patients with previous OPHL surgery showed functional airway protection, with only 2 patients showing incomplete laryngeal vestibule closure (LVC) and associated airway invasion. However, the majority of patients (90%) showed prolonged latencies to LVC and upper esophageal sphincter (UES) opening. Prolonged durations of LVC and UES opening were also noted, but these were in the direction of compensation rather than impairment. Reduced pharyngeal area at rest was seen in 70% of the sample, and all patients showed poor pharyngeal constriction. Post-swallow residue was a prominent finding in ≥ 75% of these patients. In particular, reduced or absent constriction of the hypopharynx in the region of the pyriform sinuses was noted as a characteristic of swallowing in this sample. The data from these patients suggest that despite functional airway protection, severe swallowing dysfunction involving poor pharyngeal constriction and bolus clearance may be likely after OPHL surgery.
