Twenty-five patients with dysphagia caused by neurological disorders, mainly motor heurone disease, underwent cricopharyngeal myotomy. Nineteen patients showed slight to dramatic improvement of swallowing for variable periods of time. There were five postoperative deaths. The results indicate that this simple procedure is of benefit to a substantial proportion of patients with neurological causes of dysphagia.
25例因神经功能障碍(主要是运动神经元病)导致吞咽困难的患者接受了环咽肌切开术。19例患者在不同时间段内吞咽功能有轻微到显著的改善。术后有5例死亡。结果表明,这种简单的手术对相当一部分因神经原因导致吞咽困难的患者有益。
