Development of Surgical Site Infection One Year After Thyroplasty With Arytenoid Adduction
Delayed complications of arytenoid adduction and medialization laryngoplasty are rarely reported in the literature. Clinicians should be aware that performing an AA alongside an ML may seed oral cavity bacteria into the paralaryngeal space. This may result in delayed infection-especially in immunocompromised patients-necessitating implant removal and antibiotics.
