Purpose: Bilateral vocal fold paralysis (BVFP) is a rare larynx disease manifested by dyspnea, which often requires surgical treatment. The aim of the study is to determine the effectiveness of unilateral arytenoidectomy with posterior cordectomy in the treatment of BVFP using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method.
Methods: This study included 33 patients with BVFP who underwent unilateral laser arytenoidectomy with posterior cordectomy.
Background: Short and long-term results of microsurgical treatment with the mini-microflap technique in patients with Reinke's edema (RE) were assessed based on the phonatory and ventilatory functions of the larynx.
Objectives: To assess the short and long-term results of microsurgical treatment with the mini-microflap technique in patients with RE based on the phonatory and ventilatory functions of the larynx.
Material And Methods: Twenty patients diagnosed with advanced stage of RE confirmed with laryngovideostroboscopy (LVS) were enrolled in the study.
Sinonasal inverted papilloma is a relatively rare disease; however, it is prevalent enough for every ENT practitioner to encounter it several times throughout medical routines. Despite the developments in experimental and clinical medicine as well as surgical techniques, our knowledge of this disease is still inadequate. With improved imaging and better diagnostic techniques, proper diagnosis and qualification for surgical approaches leave no doubt.
