Possibilities of surgical correction of vocal cord palsy after thyroid gland operations.

Patients report satisfactory quality of life and the possibility of returning to active professional life. Laterofixation should be considered as an alternative for tracheotomy rather than permanent procedure. (Endokrynol Pol 2015; 66 (5): 412-416). PMID: 26457495 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
