Abstract
Bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis has been treated by a number of ingenious techniques that include arytenoidectomies, vocal cord lateralizations, cordectomies, and, recently, reinnervation procedures and laser arytenoidectomies. An arytenoidectomy is recommended by a thyrotomy approach without lateralization of the vocal cord. The resulting airway is adequate for decannulation by expansion of the posterior glottic aperture, with preservation of the anterior glottis for phonation.
