Abstract

A variety of surgical treatment options exist for adductor spasmodic dysphonia (ADSD) with selective adductor recurrent laryngeal nerve denervation and reinnervation (SLAD-R) being one of the more popular. We present a case of bilateral vocal fold paralysis (BVFP) for SLAD-R resulting in the need for total laryngectomy. We suggest BVFP is more common than reported and that we all must insure optimal long term follow up of our surgical patients. Laryngoscope, 134:4582–4584, 2024.
