Overview

Retrospective case series describing voice outcomes after RLN reinnervation in pediatric unilateral vocal fold paralysis, indicating effective intervention.

Key Points

  • This study aims to evaluate voice outcomes after recurrent laryngeal nerve reinnervation in pediatric unilateral vocal fold paralysis.
  • Retrospective case series conducted at a tertiary care children's hospital from 2007 to 2025.
  • Included all patients undergoing RLN reinnervation for pediatric unilateral vocal fold paralysis.
  • Evaluated primary outcomes of perceptual and acoustic voice measures along with secondary outcomes like aspiration and dyspnea.
  • In total, 102 patients underwent RLN reinnervation, with 71 patients having evaluable voice outcomes.
  • Moderate to dramatic voice improvements were observed in 64 of 71 patients (90%).
  • Significant improvements noted in 53 patients with dramatic voice improvement with pVHI (−15.9), GRBAS (−3.0), and Cepstral values (+2.1 dB).
