Left vocal cord atrophy and paralysis with injection
The left recurrent laryngeal nerve was injured during surgery on the esophagus. At 2 months after the injury, the left vocal cord is very thin, immobile and does not show any signs of recovery. An injection of collagen is performed in the office, filling up the left vocal cord and providing bulk for several months in order to restore his voice while winning for any spontaneous reinnervation.
