Abstract:The study suggests that the tree-layer non-muscular pharyngeal closure with inferior pharyngeal constrictor unsutured is the preferable method to prevent pharyngo-esophageal spasm after total laryngectomy. However, the efficacy and safety of this surgical procedure should be explored in further multicenter studies.
