Note sull'episodio
In this video, Dr. Charlie Myer IV from Cincinnati Children's Hospital explores the role of laryngeal sensory reinnervation in children with swallowing and aspiration issues, particularly those with nerve injuries impacting both motor and sensory functions. He reviews the significance of combining motor function restoration with sensory reinnervation to improve swallowing and reduce the risk of aspiration.
Key Points Covered:
- Sensory & Motor Balance in Swallowing: Understanding that swallowing involves both motor control and sensory input, and why both are essential for safe swallowing.
- Innovative Reinnervation Technique: Connecting the great auricular nerve to the superior laryngeal nerve to enhance sensation and improve swallowing function.
- Case Stud ...
