Last updated 2013-04-05

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Total arytenoidectomy is claimed to increase risk of aspiration and cause more voice loss than other operations performed for bilateral vocal fold paralysis (BVFP). However, objective evidence for such conclusion is lacking. There is no study comparing swallowing and voice after total and partial arytenoidectomy.

Conditions

  • Airway Obstruction
  • Vocal Cord Paralysis

Interventions

PROCEDURE
