Methods: A literature search was performed using PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library to retrieve articles published up to January 2024 to comparatively assess studies of TIME and TAMIE.

Objectives: Lateral skull base surgeries pose a risk of injuring the lower cranial nerves, leading to potential postoperative complications such as dysphonia and dysphagia. Conservative treatments have shown limited efficacy in addressing these resultant voice and swallowing dysfunctions, significantly impacting patient quality of life. This study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a combined surgical approach involving autologous fat injection laryngoplasty (AFIL) and transcervical cricopharyngeal myotomy (TCPM) in patients suffering from severe dysphonia and dysphagia following lateral skull base surgery.
