Effect of age and prostheses location on rima glottidis area in equine cadaveric larynges.

Objective: To determine the effect of horse age and laryngeal prosthesis location on rima glottidis area in cadaveric larynges.

Study Design: Experimental study.

Animals: Cadaveric equine larynges (n = 40).

Optimal tension, position, and number of prostheses required for maximum rima glottidis area after laryngoplasty.

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of 3 laryngeal prostheses alone or in combination on rima glottidis area in horses.

Study Design: Experimental randomized design.

Sample Population: Cadaveric equine larynges (n = 22).
