Description
Raphaela da Costa Miranda Barbosa and co-authors measured how people swallow after throat surgery in a 2026 study. The group held 100 patients in Brazil who had part of the voice box removed for cancer. X-ray films of thin liquid sips were scored with a set method, step by step.
Many scores were off the healthy range. About one in five had unsafe swallows, one in three had a weak seal at the voice box, and three in four had food left in the throat. The counts give speech and swallow teams a firm base. They can use it to plan therapy and to warn patients what to expect.
