Ansa‐to‐recurrent laryngeal nerve (ANSA‐RLN) reinnervation procedures are now often first‐line treatments for some children with unilateral vocal fold immobility. Although many describe that prolonged denervation and true atrophy should not undergo this procedure, there has been no gold‐standard means of identifying denervation. Here, we a novel technique using evoked vagal electromyography to predict degree chronic injury prior recurrent in children. This is simple, readily available may...
