Selective cricothyroid muscle reinnervation by muscle-nerve-muscle neurotization.
OBJECTIVE To determine if selective reinnervation of the cricothyroid muscle could be achieved with muscle-nerve-muscle neurotization. DESIGN Case series. SETTING Tertiary referral center. PATIENTS Three consecutive patients with high vagal lesions that resulted in unilateral laryngeal paralysis. INTERVENTIONS Patients underwent laryngeal reinnervation with ansa hypoglossi to recurrent ...
متن کاملInnervation of the cricothyroid muscle by the recurrent laryngeal nerve.
BACKGROUND The recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) and the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (SLN) are generally thought to innervate the endolaryngeal muscles and the cricothyroid muscle (CTM), respectively. Meticulous anatomic studies found communication between these nerves (ie, the human communicating nerve). In this study, we report the innervation of the CTM by the RLN. METHOD...
متن کاملBioengineered nerve regeneration and muscle reinnervation.
The peripheral nervous system has the intrinsic capacity to regenerate but the reinnervation of muscles is often suboptimal and results in limited recovery of function. Injuries to nerves that innervate complex organs such as the larynx are particularly difficult to treat. The many functions of the larynx have evolved through the intricate neural regulation of highly specialized laryngeal muscl...
متن کاملNerve-muscle-endplate band grafting: a new technique for muscle reinnervation..
BACKGROUND Because currently existing reinnervation methods result in poor functional recovery, there is a great need to develop new treatment strategies. OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy of our recently developed nerve-muscle-endplate band grafting (NMEG) technique for muscle reinnervation. METHODS Twenty-five adult rats were used. Sternohyoid (SH) and sternomastoid (SM) muscles serve...
متن کاملMuscle changes during reinnervation after repeated nerve injuries.
Localized freezings of adult rat sciatic nerve, repeated 2 to 5 times at monthly intervals, induced a series of profound changes in the gastrocnemius muscle. In particular, many type IIC fibres were observed one month after the last freezing. However, this muscle transformation was not stable. Our combined cytological, cytochemical and electrophysiological results provide evidence for multiple ...
