Objectives: Surgery of Reinke edema requires reduction of the degenerated superficial lamina propria and preservation of the vibratory epithelium.
Material And Methods: Sixteen patients were included for microdebrider and 10 patients for carbon dioxide (CO2) laser surgery. Vocal analysis was performed before and at 1 and 3 months after surgery. Subjective rating of voice quality was completed by the grade, roughness, breathiness, asthenia, and strain scale. The objective assessment was conducted by Multi-Dimensional Voice Program software.
Results: We found consistent improvement in all parameters both in CO2 laser and microdebrider group. The normalization of all parameters were statistically better after microdebrider surgery. The most statistically significant improvements were accounted in reduction in grade of hoarseness, roughness, and asthenia and acoustic analysis.
Conclusions: Microdebrider is a useful and safe tool for Reinke edema treatment. The oscillatory cutting knife and low suction protect lamina propria resulting in better vibratory function.

Purpose: To use deep learning technology to design and implement a model that can automatically classify laryngoscope images and assist doctors in diagnosing laryngeal diseases.
Materials And Methods: The experiment was based on 3057 images (normal, glottic cancer, granuloma, Reinke's Edema, vocal cord cyst, leukoplakia, nodules and polyps) from the dataset Laryngoscope8. A classification model based on deep neural networks was developed and tested.

Introduction: Laryngeal cancer (LC) presents a significant health challenge globally, with smoking being a major risk factor. Interestingly, LC incidence in females is significantly lower than in males; however, female smokers are more likely to develop Reinke edema (RE) than LC. This study sought to investigate whether autophagy, a major mechanism for RE development, acts as a defense mechanism in laryngeal tissue against cigarette exposure and suppresses LC development in females who smoke.

Purpose: Reinke's edema is a benign lesion affecting the subepithelial layer of the vocal cords, often associated with moderate or heavy smoking. Smoking is the most significant risk factor for dysplastic laryngeal lesions, laryngeal carcinomas, and Reinke's edema. Thus, Reinke's edema could potentially be a predisposing factor for laryngeal malignancy in the long term.

Abductor vocal cord paralysis (AVCP) is a disabling disorder that affects the voice and the quality of life of a patient, and hence, there is importance in providing a detailed knowledge of its aetiology and management. In this review article, we offer an implicational definition of AVCP and a discussion of its background, viewed as potentially affecting voice production and health. Finally, we explore modalities of diagnosis by medical history and physical examination, visualization techniques like laryngoscopy and stroboscopy, and radiographic imaging such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans.
