Laterofixation of the vocal fold using an Endo CloseTM device

One of the most difficult aspects of laterofixation (called the Ejnell technique) is slipping threads through the upper needle and outside the thyroid cartilage. We use the Endo CloseTM device to draw threads inside the thyroid cartilage to the outside. We herein report two tracheostomy patients who...

Summary:One of the most difficult aspects of laterofixation (called the Ejnell technique) is slipping threads through the upper needle and outside the thyroid cartilage. We use the Endo CloseTM device to draw threads inside the thyroid cartilage to the outside. We herein report two tracheostomy patients who underwent laterofixation using the Endo CloseTM device and had their trachostomies successfully closed. We concluded that the Endo CloseTM device was effective for such procedures.
