Purpose Of Review: Bilateral vocal fold paralysis (BVFP) is a complex condition with a range of aetiologies and clinical presentations. Whilst spontaneous improvement may occur in a significant number of cases (48-70%), in the absence of recovery, multiple operations have been used to improve the airway. This review aims to analyse recent literature surrounding the management of BVFP and discuss changes in practice.

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of vocal fold botulinum toxin injection (BTI) for treating patients with the glottic form of exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO).
Methods: The outcomes of 13 patients treated with BTI for a confirmed diagnosis of EILO between May 2017 and July 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Electromyography-guided bilateral BTI (1.

Objective: To introduce an important and novel indication for non-selective laryngeal reinnervation (NSLR) in the pediatric cohort. We acknowledge vocal paralysis as a cause of induced laryngeal obstruction (ILO) presenting as dyspnea and share our experience with NSLR for this novel indication to address ILO in these adolescent patients.
Methods: Patient charts were reviewed retrospectively for relevant symptomology, intervention, and clinical course.

Background: Continuous intraoperative neuromonitoring (C-IONM) has been developed and used in open thyroidectomy to perceive imminent recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury, but has scarcely been reported in transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) due to technical difficulty. This study aims to report the percutaneous C-IONM technology in TOETVA and compare it with the conventional peroral method to confirm its feasibility, safety, and effectiveness.
Methods: This prospective study included 102 consecutive patients who received TOETVA and standardized continuous vagal nerve (VN) stimulation via percutaneous insertion of commercially available handheld stimulation probe into the moderately dissected carotid space between carotid artery and internal jugular vein and fixed by an external fixator (PC group, n = 52 with 67 nerves at risk [NAR]) or conventional peroral DELTA electrode (DELTA group, n = 50 with 61 NAR).

Over the past decade, the assessment and management of voice disorders have witnessed remarkable progress. The assessment framework encompasses a multidimensional system that includes subjective audio-perceptual assessment, objective acoustic analysis, voice-related quality of life assessment, laryngoscopy and vocal fold vibration evaluation, aerodynamic analysis and laryngeal electromyography. In China, the Expert Consensus for Assessment of Vocal Function was published in 2024.
