Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness of CO(2) laser arytenoidectomy for treating bilateral vocal cord paralysis in children, analyzing data from 17 patients between 1995 and 2008.
- Most patients (70.5%) required tracheotomy prior to the procedure, and the surgery led to a 75% decannulation rate among those with tracheotomy.
- Post-surgery, while many patients showed improvement in breathing, a small percentage experienced voice issues and aspiration complications, but overall, the procedure is considered effective for managing airway obstruction due to vocal cord paralysis.
