  • Title: Endoscopic lateralization of the vocal fold.
    Author: Fabre C, Righini CA, Castellanos PF, Atallah I.
    Journal: Eur Ann Otorhinolaryngol Head Neck Dis; 2019 Jun; 136(3):219-221. PubMed ID: 30420321.
    Abstract:
    Vocal fold paralysis in adduction can result in significant breathing difficulties. Techniques such as vocal fold lateralization and/or arytenoidopexy help to improve respiratory function in this setting. These techniques require open approach or specific instruments. The authors describe an original vocal fold lateralization technique performed exclusively via an endoscopic approach. This technique helps to enlarge the glottic aperture, while preserving laryngeal architecture, and permanently improves respiratory function in patients with vocal fold paralysis in adduction.
