Esophageal motility changes after thyroidectomy; possible associations with postoperative voice and swallowing disorders: preliminary results. [PDF]
Objective Swallowing and voice impairment are common after thyroidectomy. We evaluated short-term functional changes in esophageal motility in a series of patients who had undergone total thyroidectomy. Several studies have investigated these symptoms by
