Abstract
In this prospective study, the quality of speech and swallowing were compared between three reconstruction options (primary closure-group A, secondary intention healing-group B and flap reconstruction-group C), in small to moderate sized onco-surgical defects of oral tongue. This trial has been registered with the Clinical Trials Registry-India in December 2018 (CTRI Reg. No: CTRI/2018/12/016803). Among the 47 patients included patients, by Speech Intelligibility Assessment score and MD Anderson Dysphagia Inventory, healing by secondary intention offered the best functional outcome in terms of speech intelligibility, and primary closure offered best swallowing outcomes in operated cases of oral tongue.
