Despite the frequency and negative implications of this adverse outcome, there is no clear consensus for defining dysphagia within the spinal literature. Numerous patient-reported outcomes questionnaires are currently used to elucidate the presence and severity of postoperative dysphagia, several of which are not validated instruments. This variability in reporting creates difficulty when trying to determine the prevalence of dysphagia and any potential mitigating factors. In the current review, the authors discuss the causes of postoperative dysphagia after cervical spine surgery, metrics for evaluating postoperative dysphagia, risk factors for the development of this adverse outcome, and strategies for preventing its development. Readers will be able to use this information to improve patient outcomes after cervical spine surgery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/2022.11.spine221247","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,16]],"date-time":"2022-12-16T08:32:34Z","timestamp":1671179554000},"page":"382-388","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Dysphagia after cervical spine surgery: a review of risk factors and preventative measures"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"Vincent J.","family":"Alentado","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Indiana University, Indianapolis, Indiana;"},{"name":"Goodman Campbell Brain and Spine, Carmel, Indiana;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Erica F.","family":"Bisson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Clinical Neurosciences Center, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eric A.","family":"Potts","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Goodman Campbell Brain and Spine, Carmel, Indiana;"},{"name":"St. Vincent Health, Indianapolis, Indiana"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"issue":"11","key":"b1","series-title":"Ann Otol Rhinol Laryngol","first-page":"1101","article-title":"Fluoroscopic swallowing abnormalities in dysphagic patients following anterior cervical spine surgery","volume":"129","author":"Dhar SI","year":"2020","unstructured":"Dhar SI, Wegner AM, Rodnoi P,  Fluoroscopic swallowing abnormalities in dysphagic patients following anterior cervical spine surgery.
