Abstract
I report further experience with arytenoid abduction (AAb), a procedure that enlarges the glottis by external rotation of the arytenoid cartilage and thus moves the vocal process laterally and rostrally, but does not preclude adduction for phonation. Therefore, AAb has the potential to preserve voic...
