[Larynx reinnervation by the main branch of ansa cervicalis use in the thyroid surgery in cases of unilateral vocal fold paralysis].

The effectiveness of laryngeal reinnervation by anza cervicalis abduction in the treatment of unilateral vocal fold paralysis in thyroid surgery was study. The prospectively examined 11 patients with abduction paralysis of the larynx, which were treated by ipsilateral anastomosis of anza cervicalis main branch to the distal stump of the recurrent laryngeal nerve were performed. The survey was conducted on the pre- and postoperative stages and included videolaryngoscopy, acoustic analysis, and patient self-assessment of voice. Average follow-up was (2.98 +/- 1.04) years. The use of videolaryngoscopy showed significant improvement of the spatial positioning of the vocal folds in the postoperative period and acoustical parameters. Laryngeal reinnervation by anza cervicalis is an effective treatment for laryngeal paralysis related to operations on the thyroid gland and laryngeal function can be improve to almost normal of the spoken voice parameters and the basic functions of the larynx.
