Abstract

Purpose. There are many reports of the efficacy of laryngeal reinnervation on voice, but there is a paucity of literature regarding its impact on swallowing function. The goal of this study was to explore the impact of laryngeal reinnervation on swallowing outcomes among unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) patients.
