38 Chapter 2 judged significantly worse by this group of patients. Although these findings were significant, one has to consider that only seven patients had continuity resection, of whom only five were able to wear dentures. The total response rate was 68.4%.

This is comparable to other retrospective questionnaire studies [3, 18].
