Nerve injury and the laryngeal mask airway

open access: yesThe Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 2004
The laryngeal mask airway is a widely used, non-invasive, general purpose airway. We report the case of a temporary vocal cord palsy following the use of such an airway. The development of inappropriately high cuff pressures secondary to nitrous oxide diffusion into the cuff is proposed as the most likely cause.

Severity of Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Injuries in Thyroid Surgery

World Journal of Surgery, 2016
AbstractBackgroundFew studies in the literature have reported recovery data for different types of recurrent laryngeal nerve injuries (RLNIs). This study is the first attempt to classify RLNIs and rank them by severity.MethodsThis prospective clinical study analyzed 281 RLNIs in which a true loss of signal was identified by intraoperative ...

Unintentional recurrent laryngeal nerve injuries following thyroidectomy: Is it the surgeon who pays the bill? [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Surgery, 2017
Background Thyroidectomy is one of the most common intervention in general surgery and, after the turn of the century, its rate has sharply increased, along with a worldwide increased incidence of differentiated thyroid cancers.

Recurrent laryngeal nerve injury with the laryngeal mask

ains · Anästhesiologie · Intensivmedizin · Notfallmedizin · Schmerztherapie, 1999
We report a case of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury after anesthesia with the LMA and review the published cases of major pharyngolaryngeal morbidity. Prevention of this and other pharyngolaryngeal injuries probably depends on the skilled application of the correct insertion technique and the use of low intracuff pressures and volumes.

Treatment of Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Injury

Archives of Surgery, 1968
RECURRENT laryngeal nerve injury produces an abductor laryngeal paralysis. The vocal cord assumes a median or paramedian position. Accurate diagnosis can be made only by visualizing the vocal cords while the patient is awake. This requires indirect laryngoscopy preoperatively, and, as soon as possible, postoperatively.

Collateral reinnervation by the superior laryngeal nerve after recurrent laryngeal nerve injury

Muscle & Nerve, 2008
AbstractThis study investigates the role of the intact superior laryngeal nerve (SLN) in the reinnervation process of one of the laryngeal muscles, the posterior cricoarytenoid muscle (PCA), following recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury. Using a chronic RLN injury model in the adult rat, PCA reinnervation was assessed by retrograde double‐tracing ...

Uniqueness of laryngeal nerve injury following heart transplantation

Clinical Transplantation, 2020
AbstractBackgroundThe incidence of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury (RLNI) after heart transplantation has not been well studied. This can manifest as vocal cord dysfunction causing dysphonia. Previous research is limited to aortic, coronary bypass, and valvular surgery.

Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Injuries After Esophagectomy

Thoracic Surgery Clinics, 2006
Unilateral vocal-cord paralysis after esophagectomy involving a cervical anastomosis is uncommon in experienced hands but can cause marked morbidity because of pulmonary complications. It is important for the surgeon to understand the anatomy of the recurrent laryngeal nerve to avoid this complication.
