Quality of Life After Surgical Treatment of Head and Neck Paragangliomas

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Head and neck paragangliomas (HNPGLs) are rare neuroendocrine tumors and often arise in the head and neck. Due to their localization, the tumor and its surgical treatment pose a risk for cranial nerve impairments. Few studies have focused on the health‐related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with HNPGLs and their relation to ...

Bilateral Vocal Cord Paralysis After Extubation

Journal of Research in Medical Sciences, 2005
Vocal cord paralysis is an uncommon complication of endotracheal intubation after induction of general anesthesia. It may be due to the endotracheal tube cuff pressure on the recurrent nerves. Vocal cord edema occuring in the presence of a paralyzed cord

Synchronous Regeneration: Key Mechanism for Selective Reinnervation in Bilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study investigates the mechanisms behind the success of selective laryngeal reinnervation surgery in bilateral vocal fold paralysis. In an animal model, the surgery promoted neuromuscular regeneration and restored coordinated vocal fold movement, with no misdirected potentials observed.

Dysphagia Characteristics in High Versus Low Vagal Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
High vagal etiology of unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) is linked to greater swallowing dysfunction compared to low vagal etiology of UVFP, with higher rates of premature spillage, pharyngeal residue, penetration and aspiration on instrumental swallow assessment; and higher prevalence of diet and behavioral modifications recommended.

Inflammatory Markers Stratify Surgical Outcomes in Pediatric Airway Reconstruction

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) predicts surgical success in adult patients undergoing open airway reconstruction for laryngotracheal stenosis, but similar biomarkers in pediatrics remain unidentified. This study identifies predictors of outcomes in pediatric patients undergoing triple endoscopy or surgical airway ...

Study on the Vocal Fold Movement Characteristics of Canine Models With Nerve Paralysis Caused by Different Site Injuries

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To explore the specific effects of unilateral injuries to the vagus nerve (VN), recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN), and superior laryngeal nerve (SLN) on the vocal fold movement characteristics, and investigate the regulation pattern of current intensity on the vocal fold movement after the injuries.
