ABSTRACT

Severe aspiration occasionally bring into fatal results. In mildly aspirated cases, supportive therapy or conservative operation is sufficient. However, severely aspirated patients need more invasive operation. Although a lot of operative methods have been introduced, choice of operative method is controversial. Especially, extent of operation, post-operarative vocability and reversability must be considered. Authors operate on three patients for intractable aspiration due to both vocal cord palsy with glottic closure with Blom-singer tube insertion, and controlled the aspirations effectively.
