Nasal mucociliary transport is significantly slower in patients who have undergone laryngectomy. The time since surgery does not affect this impaired nasal clearance function.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Respiratory Physiology

Context:

  • Nasal mucociliary clearance is a critical defense mechanism.
  • Laryngectomy alters upper airway anatomy and physiology.

Purpose:

  • To compare nasal mucociliary transport time between normal individuals and laryngectomees.
  • To investigate the correlation between time post-laryngectomy and transport function.

Summary:

  • A comparative study utilized the charcoal powder technique to assess nasal mucociliary transport.
  • Significantly prolonged nasal mucociliary transport time was observed in 31 laryngectomees compared to 46 controls.
  • No statistical correlation was found between the duration since laryngectomy and the measured transport time.

Impact:
