Spasmodic dysphonia continues to be a management problem for otolaryngologists. Selective lysis of the recurrent laryngeal nerve has been useful in the management of this disease. Reported long-term results, however, reveal that spasm recurs in approximately 40% to 50% of initially successful patients in spite of persistence of the unilateral vocal fold paralysis. Although some of these failures can be recaptured with subsequent laser surgery, the overall “cure” rate does not exceed 70%, even in the best hands. The contributions of Isshiki, LeJeune, and Tucker have demonstrated that tension in the vocal folds can be adjusted by laryngeal framework surgery. Experience with 16 patients suffering from adductor spasmodic dysphonia suggests that laryngeal framework surgery is useful in the management of this disorder.

Between 1976 and 1986, 214 patients with bilateral vocal fold paralysis and 73 patients with unilateral vocal fold paralysis were managed by the author using the nerve-muscle pedicle technique for reinnervation. Follow-up of at least 2 years has been obtained on 202 of the bilaterally and 70 of the unilaterally involved patients. Long-term success has been achieved in 74% of the bilateral group and 88% of the unilateral group. Successful reinnervation of unilateral paralyses usually maintains voice correction indefinitely, but there is late (2 to 5 years postsurgery) deterioration of successful airway restoration in approximately 17% of bilateral cases, which appears to be due to development of cricoarytenoid arthritis.
