Intractable Aspiration Treated With Laryngectomy After SLAD-R Surgery: A Case Report.

A variety of surgical treatment options exist for adductor spasmodic dysphonia (ADSD) with selective adductor recurrent laryngeal nerve denervation and reinnervation (SLAD-R) being one of the more popular. We present a case of bilateral vocal fold paralysis (BVFP) for SLAD-R resulting in the need for total laryngectomy. We suggest BVFP is more common than reported and that we all must insure optimal long term follow up of our surgical patients.
