  • Title: Endolaryngeal extrusion of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene implant after medialization thyroplasty.
    Author: Laccourreye O, Hans S.
    Journal: Ann Otol Rhinol Laryngol; 2003 Nov; 112(11):962-4. PubMed ID: 14653365.
    Abstract:
    Various nonresorbable implants are currently used worldwide for medialization thyroplasty in patients with unilateral vocal cord paralysis. The Gore-Tex (expanded polytetrafluoroethylene) implant was introduced in the late 1990s. At our institution, 27 patients with unilateral laryngeal nerve paralysis had medialization thyroplasty with a Gore-Tex implant during the years 1998 to 2002. The current report documents our first case of endolaryngeal extrusion of a Gore-Tex implant.
