Feasibility of Laryngeal Joint Replacement: A Proof of Concept Study in Cadavers

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, Volume 135, Issue 8, Page 2819-2823, August 2025.
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.

Utility of laryngeal electromyography for establishing prognosis and individualized treatment after laryngeal neuropathies

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, Volume 71, Issue 5, Page 833-845, May 2025.
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

open access: yesThe Turkish Journal of Ear Nose and Throat
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

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, Volume 135, Issue 4, Page 1460-1464, April 2025.
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

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, Volume 135, Issue 2, Page 626-628, February 2025.
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 ...

Bilateral vocal fold immobility: A 13 year review of etiologies, management and the utility of the empey index

open access: yesJournal of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2015
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.
