Long-Term Assessment of Speech and Swallowing Function in Laryngopharyngeal Cancer Patients After J-Flap Reconstruction
. This study investigated the progression of speech and swallowing functions over time after reconstruction of the voice tube with a J-flap. Using a J-shaped ALT flap phonatory tube effectively restored both speech and swallowing functions, providing long-term benefits, regardless of whether the defect was circumferential or partial.
