There may also be physical reasons why this surgery may not be possible such as glossal hypertrophy, redundant oropharyngeal mucosa, retrognathism and any other reason that there is difficulty in the visualization of the laryngeal opening. A hypersensitive gag reflex would also rule out this procedure.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/D8A4EDB5-54FA-40D6-A15E-AB03A5B2DFFD/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
