Outcomes of Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Reinnervation for Pediatric Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The objective of this study was to describe voice outcomes from the largest single‐center, single‐surgeon experience with recurrent laryngeal nerve reinnervation for pediatric unilateral vocal fold paralysis. In 102 patients who underwent reinnervation, we demonstrate that reinnervation is an effective and durable intervention for treatment of ...
