“…Alloplastic implants such as porous high‐density polyethylene (PHDPE) and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e‐PTFE) have been used in cosmetic and reconstructive procedures, and their histocompatibility has been studied 1. These implants allow various degrees of soft tissue and bone ingrowth 2. This ingrowth provides stability to the implant, allowing it to incorporate into host tissue and resist migration and extrusion.…”

Implants coated with TEC from human septal cartilage can be reliably produced in the athymic nude mouse model. Maintenance of shape, as measured by the conservation of construct diameter, is possible. Fibrovascular ingrowth and cartilage formation into the pores of the alloplastic implants was observed. This integration of a construct composed of a synthetic implant coated with TEC may improve the performance of alloplastic implants through better long-term fixation and increased resistance to infection.

“…The implants remained sufficiently secure in the soft tissue; migration and extrusion were not observed. Ustundag et al [5] compared soft tissue response at larynx of silicone, Goretex, and irraditated cartilage. In the histologic examination of Gore-tex, they found a slight inflammatory reaction with foreign body giant cells present at the interface of the implant and the tissue.…”

Extrusion of Gore-tex implant after medialization thyroplasty

Various materials such as autogenous cartilage, silicone, hydroxylapatite, Gore-tex (expanded polytetrafl uoroethylene), and titanium have been used for medialization laryngoplasty. We report an extrusion of Gore-tex implant after 11 months of medialization laryngoplasty. We believe that thought Gore-tex is a safe and easy-to-use implant for medialization laryngoplasty, the possibility of extrusion after the operation must not be ignored.

“…99 However, a comparison of silicone, Gore-Tex®, and irradiated cartilage in the rabbit larynx showed least inflammatory response and best capsule formation with silicone use. 100 Arytenoid adduction is also associated with a risk of intra-operative pyriform sinus perforation. 101,102 Although commonly cited as a complication of arytenoid adduction, it is rarely reported in the literature.…”

Laryngeal framework surgery is the current gold standard treatment for unilateral vocal fold paralysis. It provides a permanent solution to glottic insufficiency caused by injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve. Various modifications to the original Isshiki type I laryngoplasty procedure have been described to improve voice and swallowing outcomes. The success of this procedure is highly dependent on the experience of the surgeon as it epitomizes the intersection of art and science in the field. The following article reviews the evidence, controversies, and complications related to laryngoplasty for unilateral vocal fold paralysis. It also provides a detailed analysis of how and when arytenoid-positioning procedures should be considered, and summarizes the literature on postoperative outcomes.
