[Prognosis and criteria of recovered motility of one of the vocal cords in the middle position as a result cordectomy].

Abstract

Complex assessment of changes in laryngoscopic picture, direct laryngoscopy under anesthesia, tomography, thermography of the larynx and electrodiagnosis allows prognosis of recovery of motility of one of the vocal cords. The reflex spasm was relieved with corporal reflex therapy and novocain blockade of Zakharyin-Ged zones for the larynx. Out of 26 patients 11 recovered motility of the vocal cord due to the novocain blockades, 4--due to the corporal reflex therapy and 4 patients--spontaneously. No response was achieved in 7 patients.
