15 sie 2022 · Beyond malignancy, epiglottic reconstruction may also be indicated in patients recovering from severe penetrating trauma to the larynx and epiglottis or in patients with epiglottic scarring...
15 gru 2022 · Mastering the surgical anatomy of the paraglottic space from the inside out will promote the development of new visual diagnostic techniques, paving the way for more precise and ultraconservative functional laryngeal and hypopharyngeal interventions.
26 wrz 2019 · The overlying musculature of the larynx is also detailed. The spaces of the internal larynx are explained including the pre-epiglottic, paraglottic, and cricoid area by their borders and contents to assist in orienting the surgeon. The course of vasculature and nerves within the larynx is described in detail.
29 lis 2016 · To create an adequate swallow, a concerted movement involving laryngeal elevation, tongue base protrusion of the epiglottis, and closure of the rima glottis is critical. Inadequate function in any of these areas can result in persistent swallowing dysfunction after therapy.
3 kwi 2024 · An Ossoff-Pilling laryngoscope or an anterior commissure laryngoscope is an anterior scope that allows exposure of the glottis in 99% of surgical patients. It is extremely valuable in patients with difficult, rigid, transoral airway exposure. A Sliding Jackson laryngoscope can also be used as an intubating laryngoscope for placement of an ETT.
Surgical treatment for unilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve dysfunction includes vocal fold augmentation or medialization. Augmentation or “injection laryngoplasty” may be used to medialize the vocal fold.
Surgical division of cricoid attached muscles, such as the posterior cricoarytenoids (main abductors of vocal cords), lateral cricoarytenoids (adductors), or cricothyroids (tension of vocal folds), is also likely to lead to significant functional alterations of laryngeal function.
