Postoperative recurrent XXXX .

@entity1 @entity717 @entity129
During the past seven years, a total of 1,713 @entity1 underwent strumectomy for a variety of causes at the University of D  sseldorf. Unilateral palsies of the recurrent nerve developed in 147 @entity1 . Both vocal cords were paralyzed in 22 @entity1 . Of the 147 @entity1 with unilateral palsies, 53 @entity1 were available for follow-up examination after one year. In 28 of these @entity1 , complete paresis of the vocal cord remained. Twenty-three @entity1 showed complete recovery and normal function of the affected cord. In two @entity1 , reduced but marked mobility of the previously completely paralyzed vocal cord was present. Of the 22 @entity1 with bilateral recurrent @entity129 , 10 were available for follow-up examination one year later. In three of these @entity1 vocal @entity717 was still absent, in three others one vocal cord showed normal function, and in only one @entity1 did both vocal cords reveal normal physiologic mobility. Three other @entity1 demonstrated a reduced but marked mobility of one vocal cord. The results are discussed in relation to the clinical and histologic data.
