Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Laryngeal Nerve Injuries:

1.	Nerve Growth Factors (Neurotrophins)IBA 10/01/2006 - "We also describe how artificial nerve conduits have become a useful tool for delivery of neurotrophic factors as therapeutic agents to promote peripheral nerve repair and might eventually be useful in the treatment of laryngeal nerve injury."
2.	Nimodipine (Modus)FDA LinkGeneric 09/15/2018 - "Consequently, clinical investigations of nimodipine have been conducted for cochlear and facial nerve preservation after vestibular schwannoma (VS) surgery, symptomatic management of Ménière's disease and peripheral vertigo, and recovery of vocal cord paralysis after laryngeal nerve injury. "
3.	CarbonIBA 08/15/2023 - "Results: There was no difference between the two groups in the number of lymph node dissection (using nano carbon tracer), hospital stay, and postoperative complications (transient decrease in parathyroid function, laryngeal nerve injury) (P>0.05). "
4.	CalciumIBA 01/01/2006 - "Transient laryngeal nerve injury occurred in 3 patients (3.33%), and temporary hypoparathyroidism in 6 subjects (6.67%), necessitating calcium supplementation. "

Therapies and Procedures

1.	Thyroidectomy 01/01/2022 - "This study aimed to determine the association between postoperative subjective voice function and psychological distress in patients without laryngeal nerve injury after thyroidectomy. " 12/01/2017 - "However, recent studies have shown that various pharyngolaryngeal symptoms, such as globus symptoms and voice changes, occur after thyroidectomy in the absence of laryngeal nerve injury. " 07/01/2022 - "Voice and swallowing symptoms are frequently reported after thyroidectomy even without laryngeal nerve injury. " 07/01/2022 - "The effect of strap muscle transection on voice and swallowing changes after thyroidectomy in patients without laryngeal nerve injury." 01/01/2022 - "Among 39 patients who underwent thyroidectomy, 32 had no postoperative laryngeal nerve injury. "
2.	Operative Surgical Procedures 01/01/2021 - "The new approach is the intraoperative neuro-monitoring (IONM) use in MIVAT in order to reduce the laryngeal nerve injury rate in a more technically difficult surgical procedure. " 10/01/2019 - "To prevent laryngeal nerve injury during the surgical procedures, all patients underwent intraoperative monitoring. " 09/01/2016 - "To prevent laryngeal nerve injury during the surgical procedures, all patients underwent neurophysiologic monitoring using mMEPs from vocal muscles. "
3.	Esophagectomy 06/01/2013 - "The group made recommendations that the clinician or surgeon should (1) document assessment of the patient's voice once a decision has been made to proceed with thyroid surgery; (2) examine vocal fold mobility, or refer the patient to a clinician who can examine vocal fold mobility, if the patient's voice is impaired and a decision has been made to proceed with thyroid surgery; (3) examine vocal fold mobility, or refer the patient to a clinician who can examine vocal fold mobility, once a decision has been made to proceed with thyroid surgery if the patient's voice is normal and the patient has (a) thyroid cancer with suspected extrathyroidal extension, or (b) prior neck surgery that increases the risk of laryngeal nerve injury (carotid endarterectomy, anterior approach to the cervical spine, cervical esophagectomy, and prior thyroid or parathyroid surgery), or (c) both; (4) educate the patient about the potential impact of thyroid surgery on voice once a decision has been made to proceed with thyroid surgery; (5) inform the anesthesiologist of the results of abnormal preoperative laryngeal assessment in patients who have had laryngoscopy prior to thyroid surgery; (6) take steps to preserve the external branch of the surperior laryngeal nerve(s) when performing thyroid surgery; (7) document whether there has been a change in voice between 2 weeks and 2 months following thyroid surgery; (8) examine vocal fold mobility or refer the patient for examination of vocal fold mobility in patients with a change in voice following thyroid surgery; (9) refer a patient to an otolaryngologist when abnormal vocal fold mobility is identified after thyroid surgery; (10) counsel patients with voice change or abnormal vocal fold mobility after thyroid surgery on options for voice rehabilitation. " 01/01/2000 - "As regards intraoperative complications, they deal only with those occurring at transhiatal esophagectomy (e.g., tracheal tear, bleeding, pneumothorax, laryngeal nerve injury). "
4.	Lymph Node Excision (Lymph Node Dissection) 07/01/2012 - "Total resection of the gastric tube with lymphadenectomy is a standard and reliable treatment for GTC, but problems may arise during or after surgery, such as laryngeal nerve injury, reduced selection of organs for reconstruction, and impaired swallowing function. " 08/15/2023 - "Results: There was no difference between the two groups in the number of lymph node dissection (using nano carbon tracer), hospital stay, and postoperative complications (transient decrease in parathyroid function, laryngeal nerve injury) (P>0.05). "
5.	Carotid Endarterectomy 06/01/2013 - "The group made recommendations that the clinician or surgeon should (1) document assessment of the patient's voice once a decision has been made to proceed with thyroid surgery; (2) examine vocal fold mobility, or refer the patient to a clinician who can examine vocal fold mobility, if the patient's voice is impaired and a decision has been made to proceed with thyroid surgery; (3) examine vocal fold mobility, or refer the patient to a clinician who can examine vocal fold mobility, once a decision has been made to proceed with thyroid surgery if the patient's voice is normal and the patient has (a) thyroid cancer with suspected extrathyroidal extension, or (b) prior neck surgery that increases the risk of laryngeal nerve injury (carotid endarterectomy, anterior approach to the cervical spine, cervical esophagectomy, and prior thyroid or parathyroid surgery), or (c) both; (4) educate the patient about the potential impact of thyroid surgery on voice once a decision has been made to proceed with thyroid surgery; (5) inform the anesthesiologist of the results of abnormal preoperative laryngeal assessment in patients who have had laryngoscopy prior to thyroid surgery; (6) take steps to preserve the external branch of the surperior laryngeal nerve(s) when performing thyroid surgery; (7) document whether there has been a change in voice between 2 weeks and 2 months following thyroid surgery; (8) examine vocal fold mobility or refer the patient for examination of vocal fold mobility in patients with a change in voice following thyroid surgery; (9) refer a patient to an otolaryngologist when abnormal vocal fold mobility is identified after thyroid surgery; (10) counsel patients with voice change or abnormal vocal fold mobility after thyroid surgery on options for voice rehabilitation.
