The effect of esophageal temperature probes on postoperative dysphagia following primary anterior cervical discectomy and fusion: a randomized prospective study
RG Samtani, D Huttman, JH Weinreb… - International Journal of …, 2021 - ijssurgery.com
Background: The anterior approach to the cervical spine is associated with postoperative
dysphagia. It is difficult to predict which patients are most at risk for dysphagia. The objective
of this study was to determine if placing an esophageal temperature probe preoperatively
would affect the severity and length of postoperative dysphagia. We hypothesize that use of
an esophageal temperature probe would result in worse postoperative dysphagia at all
measured time points as measured by the Swallowing-Quality of Life (SQAL-QOL) survey …
