Our study compares deglutition between a group who had undergone total esophagopharyngolaryngectomy and a group who had esophagectomy and partial pharyngectomy with preserved larynx, after reconstruction of the upper digestive tract with pedicled colon interposition. In four patients the laryngeal structures could be preserved (three caustic burns and one proximal esophageal tumor). Six patients underwent a total laryngopharyngectomy for large pharyngeal tumors. Swallowing was assessed by a questionnaire, clinical examination, and videofluoroscopy. All patients had normal intake of semisolid foods and fluids. All patients but three experienced some feeling of "narrowing" of the tract: four at the level of the hypopharynx, two at the orophar...
