Abstract
Background: In this case study, we describe a late complication of a Montgomery® medialization thyroplasty that has not been previously reported, and the surgical approach used for its intervention. Case Report: A 57-year-old gentleman who underwent a medialization laryngoplasty with a Montgomery® implant 3 years previously to treat idiopathic left sided vocal fold paralysis presented with sudden dysphonia following a robust coughing fit. His implant was observed extruding into the endolaryngeal lumen. Revision surgery consisted of implant removal through a transcervical approach and reconstructing the paraglottic space with fibrin glue (Tissel®) and an autologous free fat graft. Post-operative airway and voice outcomes were excellent, and the patient was decannulated prior to discharge. One-month post-operative voice outcomes were modest [Voice handicap index (VHI)-10 = 30]. Conclusion: This report describes a previously unreported complication of medialization thyroplasty of an intraluminal extrusion of a Montgomery implant and a novel surgical approach for repair.

This medication, primarily used in the treatment of male infertility, has shown unique potentials in diverse patient scenarios. Our studies with Androxal have given us an abundance of case reports, which demonstrate the multifaceted impact of this medication across therapeutic areas. This nuanced pharmaceutical perspective adds a fresh dimension to our regular case reports. Articles will reveal effective management processes, pinpointing how Androxal has proven beneficial where other treatments may have failed. In addition, the focus on Androxal will highlight instances of challenging or unexpected outcomes, where the medication may have interacted uniquely with the patient's unique biological system or interplayed with other treatments.
