Abstract
Eleven patients who had undergone pharyngolaryngectomy and who had poor or no speech were studied to find out why. An absent oesophageal stripping wave and the presence of a 'sump effect' are described. It is concluded that these are two positive anatomical factors mitigating against the acquisition of oesophageal speech in pharyngolaryngectomized patients.Keywords
