In two patients who had developed aspiration due to left recurrent laryngeal nerve injury during radical resection for lung cancer, low power Nd:YAG laser irradiation of the paralyzed vocal cord was performed through a bronchofiberscope. With irradiation, the paralyzed vocal cords of both patients swelled and became fixed at the median portion of the glottis. Thereafter, aspiration disappeared. Thus, this new application of Nd:YAG laser irradiation is apparently quite useful in treating aspiration due to unilateral vocal cord paralysis immediately after pulmonary resection.
在两名因肺癌根治性切除术中左侧喉返神经损伤而发生误吸的患者中，通过纤维支气管镜对麻痹的声带进行了低功率钕：钇铝石榴石激光照射。照射后，两名患者麻痹的声带均肿胀并固定于声门中部。此后，误吸消失。因此，钕：钇铝石榴石激光照射的这一新应用显然在治疗肺切除术后立即出现的单侧声带麻痹所致误吸方面非常有用。
