Outline of Final Research Achievements

It's possible to measure the eniohyoid muscle area using ultrasonography. We reported that the intra-rater reliability and inter-rater reliability of the evaluation method was 0.8 or more.
We measured the geniohyoid muscle area for 44 perioperative patients using this evaluation method.There was a significant difference between the preoperative, POD 7, and POD 14 in geniohyoid muscle area. Skeletal muscle atrophy due to surgical invasion was shown to occur from the early postoperative period and to affect the muscles of deglutition too.
