Summary

The present study was designed as a cross-sectional observational study providing the enrollment of tracheostomized patients undergoing major oncological surgery for head-neck cancer.

Aims:

* to provide objective data on the bolus transit during swallowing in tracheostomized patients with tracheal tube and without tracheal tube closing directly the tracheal stoma with a plaster, in order to sustain the choice to preserve the TT in dysphagic patients after oncologic surgery for more security during swallowing rehabilitation or adjuvant treatment.
* to evaluate the features of swallowing, specifically bolus transit, in patients affected by head and neck cancer who underwent major oncological surgery.
