Swallowing Function and Tracheotomy Dependence After Combined‐Modality Treatment Including Free Tissue Transfer for Advanced‐Stage Oropharyngeal Cancer

Objectives/Hypothesis There are many treatments available for advanced oropharyngeal cancer. Organ‐sparing protocols reserve surgery for salvage and are thought to provide adequate rehabilitation. Surgical resection with free tissue transfer may also provide adequate functional rehabilitation. The objective was to describe swallowing status and time to decannulation in a series of patients treated with combined‐modality therapy that included free flap reconstruction.
