Abstract
Our aim was to detect swallowing abnormalities in patients after short-term neurosurgical interventions under general anaesthesia, comparing patients with supratentorial operations with a group undergoing extracranial neurosurgery (nucleotomy). 20 patients in each group were examined by fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) after general anaesthesia. No patient demonstrated dysphagia, aspiration, or oxygen desaturation. In these patient groups, early postoperative feeding was safe. Postoperative food intake can probably be allowed early after general anaesthesia.
