Brief description:
Laryngectomy patients often complain of dysphagia. It is an under-rated problem. Surgical techniques employed during a total laryngectomy can have a significant impact on the patient’s voice as well as swallowing function. This webinar provides an overview of surgical techniques for total laryngectomy and neopharyngeal reconstruction as well as dysphagia assessment and treatment techniques. Incidence, causes, prevention and (surgical) treatment options of post-laryngectomy dysphagia will also be presented. Finally, compensatory techniques, dietary changes and therapeutic techniques to improve outcomes will be discussed.
Course objectives:
0-5 Welcome and introduction
5-45 Closing and reconstruction of the neopharynx and their impact on voice and swallowing function.
Conservative and surgical management of swallowing problems
45-60 Swallowing assessment and diagnostic tools
60-75 Treatment options for postlaryngectomy laryngectomy dysphagia

Course objectives:
- Be aware about dysphagia in laryngectomy patients, the causes and surgical and non-surgical techniques to prevent and treat them
- Describe the role of assessment techniques such as FEES, Videofluoroscopy and manometry
- Discuss protocols to optimize swallowing function and management by the SLP
