Gene Therapy for Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Injury [PDF]
Recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury has considerable clinical implications, including voice and swallowing dysfunction, which may considerably impair the patient’s quality of life. Recovery of vocal fold movement is an essential novel treatment option for RLN injury. The potential of gene therapy for addressing this issue is highly promising.

Recurrent laryngeal nerve injury in conventional thyroid surgery
Introduction: Recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury in conventional thyroid surgery can happen in 1.5-14% of cases. The outcomes of RLN injury can range from mild hoarseness to upper airway obstruction leading to tracheostomy or intubation.

Surgical tips and techniques to avoid complications of thyroid surgery
Surgery of the thyroid takes place in a body part with complicated anatomy and several vital physiologic functions. Thyroidectomy is rarely associated with mortality but can be followed by significant complications, (i.e.

Laryngeal adductor function in experimental models of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury [PDF]
Objectives/HypothesisMost patients with unilateral vocal fold paralysis experience some degree of spontaneous reinnervation, which depends upon the type and severity of recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury. After partial recovery, the paretic vocal fold may or may not adduct adequately to allow glottic closure, which in turn affects phonatory and ...

Spontaneous laryngeal reinnervation following chronic recurrent laryngeal nerve injury [PDF]
Objectives/HypothesisTo enhance understanding of spontaneous laryngeal muscle reinnervation following severe recurrent laryngeal nerve injury by testing the hypotheses that 1) nerve fibers responsible for thyroarytenoid muscle reinnervation can originate from multiple sources and 2) superior laryngeal nerve is a source of reinnervation.Study ...
