title: [Combined treatment of a cicatrised post-intubation complication with surgery and medication summary (author's transl)].
abstract: A case of postintubation laryngotracheal injury is described. The paramedian position of the vocal cords was found to be a consequence of cicatrix in the area of the posterior commissure, and by a luxation with ankylosis of the right cricoarytenoid joint. Paresis of the recurrent laryngeal nerve was excluded by electromyography. Multiple incisions of the cicatrix failed to correct the problem, whereas subsequent incision followed by intensive therapy with fludrocortisone and hyaluronidase was successful in management. In administering the medication, a new simplifed method for translaryngeal injection is described.
