Performance of Ultrasound in the Early Diagnosis of Vocal Cords Paralysis

ThyroidectomyParalysis of Vocal Cords

Thyroid and parathyroid surgery concerns around 50 000 patients a year in France. One of its main complications is paralysis of vocal cords, and the consequences can be serious. In this study, the main gold is to evaluate diagnostic performances of ultrasound for an early diagnosis (as soon as awakening of the patient) of vocal cords paralysis in the post-operative period in order to prevent at best complications.

Implantation of Porous Titanium Prosthesis in Laryngeal Surgery

Vocal Cord Paralysis

This study evaluates a medialization implant to treat vocal cord paralysis, to permit it to adjust the quality of the voice under local or general anesthesia. The aim is to restore phonation using a porous titanium prosthesis in laryngeal surgery.

The objective of this study is to evaluate pre- and intraoperative voice quality, the degree of vocal fold closure and the Maximum Phonation Time (MPT), first determined after temporary APrevent® VOIS implantation and then after permanent existing product implantation.

The No-Tie Technique Using the Harmonic Scalpel in Total Thyroidectomy With Central Neck Dissection:...

HemorrhageHypocalcemia1 more

To investigate the safety and efficacy of the no-tie technique using the harmonic scalpel (HS) in terms of the operating time and complications in total thyroidectomy with central neck dissection (CND). Recently, the HS has been used as an alternative to conventional hand-tied ligation for hemostasis in thyroid surgery, which is a time-consuming procedure. Very limited data have been published on evidence of its safety in total thyroidectomy accompanied by CND without supplementary hand-tied ligation.

Cough in Reduced True Vocal Fold Mobility

Unilateral Vocal Cord ParesisUnilateral Vocal Cord Paralysis

This project is a first attempt to assess cough airflow dynamics and true vocal fold (TVF) adduction and abduction angles during voluntary cough to examine the effects of changes in glottal closure due to reduced mobility of one true vocal fold. The hypothesis of this study is that the incomplete glottal closure due to reduced vocal fold mobility will result in changes in true vocal fold adductory and abductory angles during cough and will result in changes to voluntary cough airflow parameters. This study results will contribute to the existing knowledge of the laryngeal contribution to cough airflow dynamics.

Effect of IONM on Efficacy and Safety Using Sugammadex in Thyroid Surgery

Vocal Cord ParalysisRecurrent Laryngeal Nerve

Thyroidectomy is a frequently performed surgeon by the head and neck and endocrine surgeons. In recent years, surgical techniques and technological developments have resulted in a significant reduction in complication rates. Despite these advances, there is still a great deal of anxiety about the sound problems that can be experienced in patients after surgery. In the past years,the investigators have tried to prevent recurrent nerve paralysis by using intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM). The use of IONM has begun to be preferred by many surgeons in the investigator's country. However, the use of IONM decreases the number of recurrent nerve paralysis are still being discussed and many studies have been done. In this study, it is aimed to prevent the formation of recurrent nerve paralysis in order to safely carry out the IONM by removing the effects of neuromuscular blockade drugs using sugammadex sodium medicine in the thyroidectomy operations.

The Incidence and Impact of Vocal Cord Dysfunction In Patients Undergoing Thoracic Surgery

Vocal Cord ParesisAcquired Vocal Cord Palsy

Population-based single centre, blinded, prospective cohort study of the impact of recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury on Thoracic Surgery patients. The principal outcome of interest is the effect of RLN injury on respiratory complications. Voice, swallowing, cardiac and mortality outcomes will also be determined.

Dexamethasone for the Prevention of Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Palsy

Benign Neoplasm of Thyroid GlandMalignant Neoplasm of Thyroid

Recurrent laryngeal nerve dysfunction and hypoparathyroidism are well-recognized important complications of thyroid surgery. The duration of convalescence, after non complicated thyroid operation, may depend on several factors of which pain and fatigue are the most important. Nausea and vomiting occur mainly on the day of operation. Glucocorticoids are well known for their analgesic, anti-inflammatory, immune modulating and antiemetic effects. The investigators therefore undertook the present study to investigate whether preoperative dexamethasone could improve surgical outcome in patients undergoing thyroid surgery.

Voice Telerehabilitation

Vocal Fold Palsy

The aim of the study was to determine functional results of telerehabilitation (TR) in subjects affected by iatrogenic unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) during the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. 40 patients with iatrogenic unilateral vocal fold paralysis underwent voice teletherapy with a synchronous approach. A multidimensional assessment by means of videolaryngostroboscopy, acoustic and perceptual analysis and patient self-assessment was carried out before, at the end of teletherapy and six months later.
