chance to see the inside of the vocal fold with sialendoscopes identify improved approaches to injectiion laryngoplasty

go to: MERS March 2010 Pig Experiment

Use of transillumination to identify muscular process of arytenoid cartilage for placement of Arytenoid Repositioning Device:

see video - vocal quality / injection /post-op voice results at: Injection laryngoplasty difficulties

go to: MERS March 2010 Pig Experiment

Use of transillumination to identify muscular process of arytenoid cartilage for placement of Arytenoid Repositioning Device:

go to: ARD- Arytenoid Repositioning Device and Arytenoid Repositioning Device Video (2011 Experiment)

other: have used transoral transillumination of pyrifrom sinus mucosa for resection of third/fourth arch branchial cleft fistula

          could use to confirm EMG needle electrode tip locations (superficial TA, deeper LCA)
