Brief summary
This study tend to evaluate postoperative phonation and swallowing after oncologic surgery of the oral cavity or oropharynx with application of a collagen matrix (Tachosil®). Patients are asked to complete a questionnaire the day before the surgery and at 1 and 6 months after.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Swallowing evaluation | From enrollment (the day before the surgery) to 6 months postoperatively. | We use the Deglutition Handicap Index questionnaire to evaluative swallowing before and after surgery. Patients completed the questionnaires the day before surgery, and at 1 month and 6 months postoperatively. |
| Voice evaluation | From enrollment (the day before the surgery) to 6 months postoperatively. | We use the Voice Handicap Index questionnaire to evaluate the phonatione before and after surgery. Patients completed the questionnaires the day before surgery, and at 1 month and 6 months postoperatively. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Length of hospital stay | From the day before the surgery up to 3 weeks after surgery. The number of days between hospital admission and discharge to home was calculated. | We evaluate the length of hospital stay, it was expressed in days as mean and standard deviation |
| time to oral feeding resumption | From the surgery up to two weeks. | Number of days between the surgery and the time the patient start to eat again by the mouth. |
| incidence and onset of device-related complications | From the day of the surgery to one week after | Incidence of immunologic reaction to the collagen matrix (tachosil). Expressed in number and pourcentage. |
