Abstract
Woodman's operation is a representative operation that can improve dyspnea which is cause by bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis. It is very important to measure the width of the glottis during this operation, because it influences both the respiration and voice functions. In order to measure the exact width of the glottis, we designed a method for applying a fragment of silicone mesh. This method is very easy to perform and is also an objective one, so it is expected to be used more frequently in the future for laryngomicrosurgery.
