Based on the location of the PLF mass, this increase is most likely the result of immobilization instead of grafting. At present, studies on dysphagia after ACSS mainly focus on the current situation and risk factors. Based on the location of the grafts and the fact that both grafts were completely resorbed on the 1-year CT-scans, the increase in PLF rates is unlikely the result of grafting. Level of evidence: Structured questionnaires will limit the answers of patients to a certain extent, so researchers should explore the views of patients as much as possible with open questions, so as to provide new insights into complex reality [10].
