Abstract
Based on these clinical courses and findings, laryngeal closure reflex triggered by esophageal regurgitation was considered to be the most possible cause of their dyspneic attacks. Phonosurgeons considering thyroplastic surgeries for postesophagectomy patients should be aware that esophageal regurgitation possibly causes laryngeal closure reflex resulting in inspiratory distress during the postoperative period.
