Endoscopic Laser Arytenoidectomy

Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, 1983
Abstract Most patients with bilateral vocal cord paralysis have a fairly satisfactory voice, but their airway is usually inadequate for day‐to‐day exertion. In some patients, the airway may be inadequate for even quiet respiration and an indwelling tracheotomy is required. Solution to this problem has involved the following techniques:

Endoscopic Laser Medial Arytenoidectomy Versus Total Arytenoidectomy in the Management of Bilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis

Annals of Otology, Rhinology and Laryngology, 1996
Bilateral laryngeal paralysis can result in severe airway compromise. A widely accepted treatment is endoscopic laser total arytenoidectomy (TA); however, vocal results are usually poor. An alternative approach, resection of only the medial portion of the arytenoid (medial arytenoidectomy [MA]), has the potential for less vocal impairment, but may not ...

Evaluation of Partial Arytenoidectomy as a Treatment for Equine Laryngeal Hemiplegia

Equine Veterinary Journal, 1994
Summary The efficacy of partial arytenoidectomy was assessed in 6 Standardbred horses, with surgically induced laryngeal hemiplegia, at rest (Period A) and during exercise at speeds corresponding to maximum heart rate (Period C) and 75% of maximum heart rate (Period B). Peak expiratory and inspiratory airflow rate

Laser‐Assisted Endoscopic Submucosal Medial Arytenoidectomy (LESMA)

The Laryngoscope, 2007
Various surgical techniques have been proposed for the management of patients with bilateral vocal fold paralysis (VFP) or posterior glottic stenosis (PGS), which make use of external and endoscopic approaches.

Subtotal Carbon Dioxide Laser Arytenoidectomy for the Treatment of Bilateral Vocal Fold Immobility: Long-Term Results

Annals of Otology, Rhinology and Laryngology, 2005
Sixty-nine patients underwent subtotal carbon dioxide laser arytenoidectomy for treatment of bilateral vocal fold immobility between 1985 and 2000. The population included 69 patients whose mean age was 56 years (SD, 16 years; range, I I to 82 years ...

Subtotal Carbon Dioxide Laser Arytenoidectomy by Endoscopic Approach for Treatment of Bilateral Cord Immobility in Adduction

Annals of Otology, Rhinology and Laryngology, 1996
Subtotal carbon dioxide (CO2) laser arytenoidectomy for endoscopic treatment of bilateral immobility of the vocal folds in adduction is a variant of total arytenoidectomy.

Laser Arytenoidectomy in Children With Bilateral Vocal Fold Immobility [PDF]

Journal of Laryngology and Otology, 2007
Bilateral vocal fold immobility in children is a challenging problem because a balance between good airway and voice quality has to be achieved. Surgery to improve the airway is often postponed or avoided because of fear of losing the voice.

Arytenoidectomy revisited

The Laryngoscope, 1976
AbstractThe spectrum of disabilities attendant to laryngeal paralysis range from mild hoarseness to complete upper airway obstruction depending upon the static position of the paralyzed cord or cords. The most distressing disabilities are those of bilateral vocal cord paralysis in which both vocal folds are fixed in the midline resulting in severe ...

Intralaryngeal arytenoidectomy

The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 1985
Six cases of bilateral abductor palsy with stridor are presented. Following unilateral intralaryngeal arytenoidectomy, four had adequate airways and reasonable voices. Two required bilateral arytenoidectomy, one acquired an adequate airway at the expense of a weakened voice, and the other still requires a tracheostomy.

Lateral supraglottic pharyngo-laryngectomy with arytenoidectomy

Head & Neck, 1996
Supraglottic laryngectomy for tumors of the epilarynx requiring arytenoid cartilage resection is frequently associated with problems in relearning to swallow, and aspiration is frequent. We propose a surgical procedure in which a local flap is used to close the pharyngeal defect.An apron skin incision is used to expose the hyoid bone and strap muscles.
