Laryngeal Reinnervation Is Recommended Surgical Intervention for Pediatric Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis
Laryngeal reinnervation should be offered to all patients independent of patient age or duration of denervation, as it can improve voice and swallowing. Long-term denervation, however, may result in a smaller degree of improvement.
Determining Appropriate Objective Testing for Patients with Suspected Laryngopharyngeal Reflux
Staging severity of laryngopharyngeal reflux with more objective testing is crucial to understanding its natural history, forecasting response to treatment, and it may serve as a gateway to considering surgical treatments.
