چکیده

reinke’s Space oedema is characterized by a subepithelial collection of fluid and pseudo-myxomatous tissue within the lamina propria superficialis of the vocal cord. We have observed, in a number of cases, the phenomenon of bilobular and/or centrally located reinke’s Space oedema. Bilobular oedema occurs when the sub-epithelial oedema is organised as a double bulge of the vocal cord in the superoinferior plane due to adhesions or sulcus at the free edge of the vocal cord. herewith, a simple, yet easily reproducible, modified technique is presented of an “m” shaped microflap for the treatment of bilobular and also centrally located reinke’s Space oedema of the vocal cords, using Carbon Dioxide laser and/or cold micro instruments allowing maintenance of an appropriate amount of lamina propria superficialis and easy coverage of the potentially exposed part of the ligament. our technique involves removal of the upper bulge of the affected vocal cord with Carbon Dioxide laser or cold instruments, followed by an “m” shaped remodelling of the microflap so that the mucosa can be effectively draped over the lamina propria superficialis and vocal ligament.

Comparison of tensile strength of fibrin glue and suture in microflap closure.

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Suture closure and fibrin glue placement have been advocated as alternatives to healing by secondary intention. The aim of this study was to examine the tensile strength of these microflap closure techniques. STUDY DESIGN Basic research. METHODS Three pairs of excised bovine true vocal folds underwent microflap creation and closure by either single 6-0 polyglactin sutu...

Numerical Evaluation of Microflaps for On Blade Control of Noise and Vibration

Active Gurney flaps, or microflaps, are studied to determine their effectiveness in reducing noise and vibration in rotorcraft, as well as improving rotor performance. The effectiveness of the microflap is examined using a comprehensive rotorcraft simulation code. The aerodynamic properties of the microflap is modeled using a nonlinear CFD based reduced order aerodynamic model that takes into a...
