Abstract
Of the various surgical options for bilateral vocal fold paralysis cases, Ejnell's operation, so called laterofixation, is a non-invasive and straightforward technique. Ejnell's operation requires two surgeons at the same time; while one is observing the larynx, the other is operating on it percutaneously from outside the neck. We chiefly perform this procedure to improve the airway in laryngeal paralysis cases because it doesn't necessitate the excision of tissue and keeps the vocal cord lateral for long time. We reported on a case, which four months after Ejnell's operation was performed, had formed a reactive granulation in the laryngeal ventricle after the nylon thread had been cut.
