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

Muscle &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,

Submucosal Thyroarytenoid Myectomy with Arytenoidectomy in Treating Bilateral Vocal Fold Immobility

The 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 ...

The effect of unilateral endoscopic arytenoid abduction lateropexy on swallowing in cases of bilateral vocal fold palsy

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 10, Issue 1, February 2025.
Endoscopic arytenoid abduction lateropexy (EAAL) is an effective minimally invasive technique for managing bilateral vocal fold palsy (BVFP). The application of FEES confirmed that unilateral EAAL in the case of BVFP improves respiratory function without impairing swallowing.
