Whether laryngeal recurrent nerve injury can be recovered or not needs to be judged according to the comprehensive judgment of the injury. Mild injury due to tumor compression and other reasons may be relieved after the primary disease is controlled.
Laryngeal recurrent nerve injury is often caused by surgery, trauma and tumor, often combined with laryngeal muscle movement injury, so that the vocal folds lose the function of inward and outward movement and normal laryngeal muscle tone. It can be manifested as hoarseness, vocal fatigue, choking and coughing, etc. Bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve injury can also cause respiratory distress, asphyxia and other serious injuries.
The treatment of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury is firstly to clarify the cause of the disease and treat the primary disease, such as nerve injury caused by tumor compression, which can be treated by surgical resection of the tumor and so on; and secondly, to carry out conservative treatment such as medication, voice training and so on. Most of the non-dissected recurrent laryngeal nerve injuries can recover nerve function to different degrees after systematic treatment, and some patients can recover completely.
For patients whose conservative treatment is ineffective, nerve surgical repair can be considered, but nerve surgical repair may not be able to fully recover to the normal level. If the above mentioned symptoms of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury occur, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time for consultation and active treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
