78
Q

-

A

Improve voice quality, swallowing,
Helpful to VF paralysis, or if there is VF atrophy/issues to its structure, boeing to VF.

79

Laryngoplasty

A

Manipulate or add implants to VF. Implants are usually made of synthetic materials

80
Q

  2. 3.
81
Q

Contraindications for Laryngoplasty include…

6. Bleeding disorder
7. xxx
8. Anxiety
9. Allergy to implant material

82
Q

The surgeon uses a free-moving wedge to move VF to midline during which surgical procedure?

A

Thyroplasty

83
Q

Laryngoplasty is effective as it improves voice quality and prevents VF atrophy.

A

False! While laryngoplasty is effective in improving voice quality, it cannot prevent VF atrophy

84
Q

Medialization laryngeoplasty is often referred to as…

A

Thyroplasty

85
Q

Thyroplasty differs from Laryngoplasty because Thyroplasty….

A

Aims to restore/improve voice quality by adjusting the position of the vocal folds whereas laryngoplasty focuses on repairing/rebuilding the VF

86
Q

__________ is typically used for unilateral vocal fold paralysis.

A

Thyroplasty

87
Q

True or False: UVFP is a common cause of neonatal stridor.

A

False! BVFP

88
Q

In BVFP, adductor paralysis the VF remain at midline, causing serious respiratory problems where patients may need a tracheostomy

A

False! Abductor

89
Q

In BVFP, adductor paralysis neither VF is capable of moving midline, thus making phonation impossible and placing the individual at risk of __________________.
