Prosthetic laryngoplasty (\n PL<\/jats:styled-content>\n ) is the preferred treatment of\n RLN<\/jats:styled-content>\n as it returns variables of airway mechanics to baseline. A number of materials have been evaluated as prostheses; however, the application of Lycra has not been rigorously investigated.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objective<\/jats:title>\n \n To evaluate the efficacy of\n PL<\/jats:styled-content>\n using a\n L<\/jats:styled-content>\n ycra prosthesis, in combination with transendoscopic, laser\u2010assisted ventriculocordectomy, to restore racing performance in\n Thoroughbred<\/jats:styled-content>\n racehorses with\n RLN<\/jats:styled-content>\n .\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Study design<\/jats:title>\n Retrospective case series.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n \n Medical records, preoperative and post operative racing performance indices from 78\n T<\/jats:styled-content>\n horoughbred racehorses that underwent surgical treatment for\n RLN<\/jats:styled-content>\n were evaluated. Medical records, preoperative and post operative racing performance indices were evaluated. Case history, post operative complications and\n PL<\/jats:styled-content>\n failure were recorded. Racing performance was analysed using\n B<\/jats:styled-content>\n eyer\n S<\/jats:styled-content>\n peed\n F<\/jats:styled-content>\n igures (\n BSF<\/jats:styled-content>\n ), earnings and a performance index (\n PI<\/jats:styled-content>\n ), with comparisons made between the 3 races before and after surgery. Factors associated with return to racing and racing performance were analysed.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Eighty\u2010two per cent (46\/56) of horses that raced prior to surgery and 75% (15\/20) of horses that had not raced prior to surgery competed in at least one race post operatively. Horses had a lower\n BSF<\/jats:styled-content>\n and\n PI<\/jats:styled-content>\n in the final race before surgery. Following surgery,\n PI<\/jats:styled-content>\n and\n BSF<\/jats:styled-content>\n values were restored to preoperative values in 73% and 78% of horses respectively. Surgical failure rate and immediate post operative complication rate were lower than, or comparable with, other reported prosthesis materials.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n \n Thoroughbred racehorses with\n RLN<\/jats:styled-content>\n have a good prognosis for racing successfully after\n PL<\/jats:styled-content>\n using a\n L<\/jats:styled-content>\n ycra prosthesis. The described surgical technique is associated with a low post operative complication rate and an increase in indicators of racing performance (\n PI<\/jats:styled-content>\n and\n BSF<\/jats:styled-content>\n ) post operatively.\n L<\/jats:styled-content>\n ycra offers an attractive option for application as a prosthetic for\n PL<\/jats:styled-content>\n with a low complication rate and similar efficacy to reported rigid prostheses.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/evj.12237","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,2,16]],"date-time":"2014-02-16T20:28:44Z","timestamp":1392582524000},"page":"60-64","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Racing performance following prosthetic laryngoplasty using a polyurethane prosthesis combined with a laser\u2010assisted ventriculocordectomy for treatment of recurrent laryngeal neuropathy in 78\n T<\/scp>\n horoughbred racehorses"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"47","author":[{"given":"J.
