BACKGROUND/AIMS Rehabilitation of the bilaterally paralyzed human larynx remains a complex clinical problem. Conventional treatment generally involves surgical enlargement of the compromised airway, but often with resultant dysphonia and risk of aspiration. In this retrospective study, we compared one such treatment, posterior cordotomy, with unilateral laryngeal pacing: reanimation of vocal fo...

متن کاملIndications for Phonosurgical Treatment of Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis Based on Laryngeal Tomographic Indices
The authors investigated indication for phonosurgery for treatment of unilateral vocal fold paralysis based on laryngeal tomographs taken during sustained phonation of the vowel/u/, using a computed radiography system. As pre-operative quantitative indices, the thickness ratio (the ratio of the frontal sectional area of the paralyzed vocal fold to that of the other side, TR) and the level diffe...
