2. Fig 1
Sensory thresholds in mm Hg examined by Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing With Sensory Testing (FEESST; Pentax Medical Company, Montvale, NJ) on the operated side (n = 26) and the contralateral side (control group; n = 26). The horizontal lines at 4.0 and 6.0 mm Hg show the defined laryngopharyngeal sensory thresholds according to Aviv et al22,23 (normal <4.0 mm Hg air-pulse pressure [APP], moderate deficit  mm Hg APP, and severe deficit >6.0 mm Hg). The horizontal line in the middle of each box indicates the median; the top and bottom borders of the box mark the 75th and 25th percentiles, respectively, the whiskers above and below the box show the maximum and minimum, respectively, and the circles indicate outliers.
