| Abstract | BACKGROUND: For more than 25 years, posterior laser transverse cordotomy has been generally considered the ideal endoscopic minimally invasive procedure of choice for bilateral vocal fold immobility. The main drawback of this procedure, when compared to more aggressive "glottic aperture improvement" operations, is the high revision rates, caused by granulations, adhesion, and scar, for example. |
