Feasibility of Laryngeal Joint Replacement: A Proof of Concept Study in Cadavers
Treatment in advanced cases of posterior laryngeal stenosis relies on permanent tracheostomy or irreversible arytenoidectomy/cordectomy, which are compromises between voice, swallowing, and airway. While having intact laryngeal neuromuscular function, there is immobility of the vocal cord due to scarring and ankylosis of the cricoarytenoid joint.

A Bilateral Abductor Palsy Due to Radiotherapy in Supraglottic Cancer – A Case Report
Radiotherapy is an established mode of treatment for head and neck cancer. Radiotherapy associated with bilateral abductor palsy of the vocal fold is one of the rarest causes. Bilateral abductor palsy of the vocal folds is a serious condition that can be

Abstract Laryngeal electromyography (LEMG) is a technique used to characterize neuropathic injuries to the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) and superior laryngeal nerve (SLN). The RLN and SLN innervate the laryngeal muscles to produce vocal fold (VF) motion and elongation, respectively. VF motion deficiencies can affect voice, swallowing, and breathing,

Bilateral Abductor Vocal Fold Paralysis; Outcomes of Surgical Management in Adult Yemeni Patients
Objective: Bilateral vocal fold paralysis is characterised by complete or partial immobilisation of the vocal folds, resulting in narrowing of the airway at the glottic level and breathing difficulty. This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of surgical

Submucosal Thyroarytenoid Myectomy with Arytenoidectomy in Treating Bilateral Vocal Fold Immobility
We demonstrate submucosal thyroarytenoid myectomy with arytenoidectomy as a novel technique to improve glottic airway patency. This improves outcomes compared with current available techniques by preserving laryngeal mucosal lining and harnessing lateral retraction of glottic tissue to reduce revisions for granulation tissue and laryngeal scar ...

High‐Riding Innominate Artery: Booby Trap for ICU Tracheotomy
Despite tracheotomy being a routine procedure, it is not rare to encounter anatomic irregularities that can compromise its success. In this report, we describe a case in which a high‐riding innominate artery was identified within the surgical trajectory moments before incision, which ultimately necessitated airway securement using an alternative ...

Management of bilateral vocal folds immobility [PDF]
A difficult condition known as bilateral vocal fold immobility (BVFI) can be caused by a variety of conditions, such as vocal fold paralysis, synkinesis, cricoarytenoid joint fixation, and interarytenoid scarring.

Background Bilateral vocal fold immobility (BVFI) is a rare diagnosis causing dyspnea, dysphonia and dysphagia. Management depends on respiratory performance, airway patency, vocal ability, and quality-of-life priorities.
