[Treatment of dysphonia spastica by recurrent nerve resection (author's transl)].

Fifteen-month follow-up of a patient with severe dysphonia spastica treated by recurrent nerve resection showed that complete recovery had been obtained. Pathological findings, and the results of sonographic, phonographic, glottographic, and electromyographic examinations in this affection are discussed, and an attempt made to deduce the mechanism of action of this resection, and to establish the most valid indications for its employ.

[Multiple electrode cochlear implants : clinical results (author's transl)].

Multiple electrode cochlear implants were employed in 34 patients with total deafness (25 cases of acquired deafness of an adult age, and 22 cases of congenital or neonatal deafness). Complications encountered initially (eardrum perforation, receiver breakdown) are no longer observed, but emphasis has also to be placed on the reliability of the electrode-nerve interface, which remained unaltered after a follow-up period of nearly five years. The advantages of the method are that it enables frequency discrimination, followed by that of phonemes and finally words and phrases, without the need for up-reading, results being variable from one case to another. Results are dependent on the effectiveness of the electrode-nerve interface and the intellectual development of the patient. Only measurable objective results are reported.

Indications and results of the multichannel cochlear implant.

In the case of total deafness, the multichannel cochlear implant prosthesis constitutes a substantial improvement. It allows known words to be recognized without lip reading, with a great percentage of good responses. Clinical and phoniatric results are reported in 21 cases of patients with implants.
