Utilizing Modified Barium Swallow Impairment Profile (<scp>MBSImP</scp>) to Characterize Swallowing Function Following Total Laryngectomy
Our work aims to provide further insight into the swallowing characteristics of TL as measured using the MBSImP. A high frequency of biomechanical impairment was identified in this cohort of patients. Although the MBSImP is a validated tool its application to the reconstructed anatomy following TL is not precise and should be regarded with caution in clinical settings. Further work is needed to modify definitions of the MBSImP components and inclusion of additional features that can more accurately describe post-TL dysphagia.
