Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We present two cases of supraglottic transection, with concomitant neurotemesis of the superior laryngeal nerve. Both cases were repaired primarily and a temporary tracheostomy was used to protect the airway. In both cases subsequent decannulation was achieved within four weeks, following the initial injury. No long-term swallowing or voice disturbance was noted in either case. We recommend that in such cases it is unnecessary to repair the nerves directly, but that careful repair of the wound itself will achieve a functional result. |
