Vocal cordotomy or carbon dioxide laser endoscopic posterior cordotomy is a popular minimally invasive procedure performed to treat bilateral vocal fold (cord) paralysis. It is a laser-assisted incision of one or both vocal cords to widen the airway .

A laser cordotomy is a minimally invasive procedure to treat bilateral vocal cord paralysis (vocal fold paralysis). A surgeon makes a small incision in one or both vocal cords. The incision widens your airway, allowing you to breathe better.

This procedure is indicated for cancer originating in the anterior commissure involving one or both the vocal cords, without infiltrating the thyroid cartilage. The surgery comprises...

Transverse cordotomy is a surgical procedure on the posterior part of the vocal cord, first described to our knowledge by Dr. Haskins Kashima of Johns Hopkins University many years ago. The procedure is done for bilateral vocal cord paralysis, or for glottic stenosis caused by injury and resultant scarring of the vocal cords together.

In cordoplasty, linear vaporization of ventricular floor adjacent to posterior one-third of membranous vocal cord is done with CO 2 laser after application of false vocal cord retractor without damaging true vocal cord.

2023年3月17日 · What is a cordectomy? A cordectomy is a surgery to remove part (partial cordectomy) or all (total cordectomy) of your vocal cords. It is sometimes used to treat cancer. It can be done in a few different ways: An open incision (cut) gives a better view of the inside of your body. This can take longer to heal.

2024年6月17日 · Currently, BVCP is often treated by transoral CO 2 laser-assisted transverse cordotomy, but this procedure can lead to subsequent scarring at the wound bed resulting in re-narrowing of the airway and poor voice (Figure 1A). Here, we propose a modification of the transverse cordotomy procedure that improves predictable airway and voice outcomes ...

A CO2 laser on 8 watts continuous super-pulse was used to perform a posterior cordotomy on the left side, just anterior to the vocal process with the lateral margin deemed the perichondrium immediately overlying the thyroid cartilage.

Endoscopic laser cordectomy, also known as Kashima operation, [1] is an endoscopic laser surgical procedure performed for treating the respiratory difficulty caused as a result of bilateral abductor vocal fold paralysis.

The goal of surgery is to provide an adequate airway to allow decannulation with minimal impact on speech and swallowing. There is no one procedure accepted as the gold standard or first-line treatment to achieve decannulation in children with BVFP.
