    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To explore endoscopic ruby-laser arytenoidectomy for the treatment of bilateral vocal cord paralysis. METHOD: Ten cases with bilateral vocal cord paralysis were operated, six were male and four were female, all of whom had Ruby laser arytenoidectomy with tracheostomy and anesthesia through intubiting ahead. RESULT: There are no complications. During the following three to thirteen months, all patients operated breathed well with no synecdochical scar formed in the throat and their pronounciation improved apparently. Their glottis are broadened more than 4 mm after operation. CONCLUSION: Ruby-laser arytenoidectomy is a practicable therapy to bilateral vocal cord paralysis.
