Dysphagia, n(%)
24 h	2(5.6)	2(5.4)	3(7.9)	1.00
48 h	0(0.0)	2(5.4)	0(0.0)	0.212
overall	2(5.6)	2(5.4)	3(7.9)	1.00

The values are expressed as number of patients (percentage). P < 0.05 is considered statistic significant. The overall represents the incidence of experiencing at least once symptoms within 48 h postoperatively
