Abstract:ObjectiveTotal laryngectomy (TL) patients are good models in which to evaluate the effects of nasal airflow cessation on the sinonasal tract. Here, we evaluated changes in sinonasal structures and association with sinus opacification in the computed tomography (CT) images 3 years post‐TL.MethodsPatients who underwent TL from 2005 to 2017 in a teaching academic center were reviewed retrospectively. Patients with a final follow‐up CT taken less than 3 years after TL, tracheoesophageal puncture, inadequate CT ima… Show more
