N2 - The purpose of this review is to analyze the literature updates on bilateral vocal fold immobility (BVFI) from 2011 to 2013. Whereas management of BVFI has not changed substantially in recent years, some modifications to techniques have been reported in the literature since 2011. These will be discussed in detail. Management of BVFI continues to challenge the laryngeal surgeon, especially with regard to voice preservation while establishing an adequate airway. Although static procedures continue to be the mainstay of treatment, focus is turning toward the development of new devices that would enable dynamic restoration of movement.
