A small percentage of (mostly) older people develop a progressive but treatable swallowing disorder called _antegrade cricopharyngeal dysfunction (A-CPD)_. They have difficulty initially with solid foods and pills: laryngopedia.com/antegrade-cr...
As the months and years pass, the tendency for food to lodge in the throat gradually increases. Eventually, they must limit their diets to softer and "easier" things more and more like "baby food.” Special focus is placed on an effective endoscopic (through the mouth) laser procedure: cricopharyngeal myotomy.

@@Laryngopedia Absolutely! I was actually watching your explanation of the pharyngeal constrictors in a video from 14 years ago, and then checked out this video - it almost brought me to tears - I didn't believe it was the same person, honestly. Hope you had an exciting and enjoyable career thus far, doctor.

Hello Sir! Let me ask you a question. I may be expecting this procedure and I am concerned about one question. Some doctors say that the UES protects the lungs from reflux and food and it can be dangerous to cut this muscle. On the other hand I have read that this does not happen. Please tell me your opinion on this from the height of your experience. Thank you!

@HchcucuChchchch-bs9ec Год назад

Oh, and I also have strictures in the UES region. I had a dilation 6 months ago, which helped. But after the last one (a month ago) I didn't feel any improvement, although there was no restenosis

I have the most trouble getting any ENT to believe me.

Hello Dr. Bastian, I have frequently read that dysphagia usually recurs years after surgery. If this occurs, can the cricopharyngeal myotomy be performed again?

@Laryngopedia 7 месяцев назад

The 2 primary explanations I have encountered in a large series: 1) that the prior surgeon did not perform a complete myotomy and or 2) it is now many years later, the individual is truly elderly, and having trouble not with the sphincter but with the vigor of the propulsive side of swallowing.

i swallowed something while looking straight down over a week ago.i felt pain in my throat and the food like moved the thyroid cartilage / hyoid bone out the way. i think they went back into place but since then i can’t swallow solids: they stay in my throat and can’t move down!!!!! could this be this????? i have no issue with liquids. liquid barium showed it went down fine. but solids sit in my throat! i have to drink heaps of water to get it down!

@sugaplumalex Год назад

i’ve also had a small hernia there (killian jamieson diverticulum) which i haven’t got removed as i got used to it…..

Hello, I am Ali. I live in London. I have a problem with my throat. I cannot swallow. I cough while eating. I constantly have to clear my throat. I went to many doctors here in London. They could not solve my problem. I follow you on RU-vid. How can we meet you?

Can a patient in advanced years with dementia and dysphagia from a stroke have this procedure to reverse it? Our father has been admitted to the hospital for a stroke and subsequently, his swallowing function is very impaired. Can not swallow apple sauce more than 2-3 teaspoon without regurgitation. We're wondering if this is the end or if he can possibly be with the family for a few more years yet Cognitively he's very non-communicative verbally, but will interact visually. Is procedure viable for someone in his position? Due to his age (91) and dementia, the doctors are ready to write him off.
