“…Any attempt to intubate these cases specially of the traumatic group with damaged tracheal mucosa can be hazardous as it can cause a further loss of an already compromised airway. The advantages of tracheostomy over intubation have also been highlighted by Olson and Miles (1971) and Schaefer (1982).…”

Sixty-one cases of bilateral immobile vocal folds were classified as traumatic (52.46 per cent), idiopathic (39.34 per cent) or iatrogenic (8.20 per cent). During follow-up the idiopathic group of patients had a better prognosis (p<O.O5) compared to the traumatic or iatrogenic group. A spontaneous recovery was seen in 58.33 per cent of cases in the idiopathic group, 56.25 per cent in the traumatic group and 40.0 per cent in the iatrogenic group within a period of one year. Patients who failed to show spontaneous recovery were either subjected to arytenoidectomy with fold lateralization, endoscopic fold lateralization or laser cordectomy, showing 70.0 per cent, 66.67 per cent and 80.0 per cent recovery respectively. These cases have been discussed.

“…If the perichondrium was disrupted, wire fixation of the cartilaginous fragments was attempted. Olsen 13 and Olson and Miles, 14 who had previously used the suture repair technique, advocated wire fixation with figure‐of‐eight closure, to prevent subluxation. Multiple reports subsequently detailed experience with external laryngeal trauma and endorsed either suture or wire fixation of displaced thyroid fractures 1,4,15,16 .…”
