Total Versus Partial Arytenoidectomy in Bilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis

The Comparison of Voice and Swallowing Parameters After Endoscopic Total and Partial Arytenoidectomy Using Medially Based Mucosal Advancement Flap Technique for Bilateral Abductor Vocal Fold Paralysis: A Randomized Trial

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 20 (actual)
• Sponsor: Hacettepe University · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 75 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

Total arytenoidectomy is claimed to increase risk of aspiration and cause more voice loss than other operations performed for bilateral vocal fold paralysis (BVFP). However, objective evidence for such conclusion is lacking. There is no study comparing swallowing and voice after total and partial arytenoidectomy.
