Videorentgenocinematographic examinations of swallowing were conducted on 81 patients after partial laryngectomy and on 35 subjects being a control group. Resection of piriform recess, a part of base of the tongue, the hyoid bone or its part is the factor that causes intensified difficulty during swallowing and increase in the frequency of the occurrence of aspiration. The results of videorentgenocinematographic examinations indicate that the shape and mobility of the tongue and the mobility of remaining after the surgery parts of the larynx have the greatest influence on the efficient swallowing in patients who have undergone partial laryngectomy due to cancer initially located in the supraglottic area.

Studies were performed on 22 patients, aged from 17 to 78 years, in whom, owing to laryngeal cancers, partly classical or extended supraglottic laryngectomy was carried out. The evaluation involving the pharyngeal deglutition course was accomplished by resorting to computerized topokinetic analysis of the roentgen-cinematographic images. The completed observation revealed good mobility of the anatomical structures participating in deglutition, small volume and number of glossolaryngeal recesses.

A radiocinematographic procedure of the pharyngeal examination of snorers is presented. By swallowing, by the production of pharyngeal sounds and by the forced inspiration which produces snoring sounds a dysfunction or an obstruction in the upper respiration tract can be located. This method is a useful diagnostic aid in snoring disease which should precede surgical interventions in the pharynx.
