Functional Electrical Stimulation of the Feline Larynx With a Flexible Ribbon Electrode Array.

Objectives: Success of laryngeal reanimation through neurorrhaphy has been limited by synkinesis and preoperative muscle atrophy. The objective of this study was to investigate the use of epimysial electrode arrays as a means of delivering electrical stimulation to the posterior cricoarytenoid muscles in order to control laryngeal abduction.

Methods: Ribbon electrode arrays with 4 or 8 electrode contacts were used.

Recurrent contralateral hearing loss after 2 craniotomies for vestibular schwannoma: etiologic implications.

Objective: To describe recurrent sudden sensorineural hearing loss after contralateral vestibular schwannoma resection and re-resection.

Study Design: Clinical capsule report.

Setting: Tertiary academic referral hospital.
