Abstract
The approach to deglutitive aspiration presented in this article is original. It permitted restoring the dynamic nature of the swallowing process in immobile largynges, a situation found when function has been abolished through central neurological deficit. The necessity, in the author's view, for a miniaturized electronic system bypassing the diseased centers able to produce tight glottic closure in a canine model during pharyngeal stimulation is emphasized. There is hope that we may ultimately move towards human implantation if the proposed electronics will be well tolerated over time.
