“…The particle size combined with the surface texture prevent mechanical dislodgement or migration, thus giving greater anchorage and stability. 11,12 PDMS elastomers have been in use for medical applications such as insulation for pacemaker leads, catheters, and hydrocephalic shunts for many years.…”

“…The material has been used in urology and facial plastic surgery for well over 15 years without remarkable substance-associated complications. In the human larynx several groups using polydimethylsiloxane particles have been able to show a permanent augmentation effect in the vocal fold leading to good functional results without formation of foreign body granuloma [ 7 ], [ 8 ], [ 9 ], [ 10 ], [ 11 ], [ 12 ]. Overcorrection is not necessary.…”

“…Das Material wird seit über 15 Jahren in der Urologie und der kosmetischen Chirurgie eingesetzt, ohne dass bislang relevante substanzspezifische Komplikationen bekannt geworden sind. Nach den bisherigen, noch begrenzten Erfahrungen scheinen Polydimethylsiloxan-Partikel eine permanente Stimmlippenaugmentation zu ermögli-chen, ohne Fremdkörperreaktionen zu verursachen [2,38,41]. Eine Überkorrek-tur ist nicht erforderlich.…”

Unilateral recurrent nerve paralysis leads to glottic insufficiency, significantly reducing vocal ability. Due to its unusually long course, the recurrent laryngeal nerve is prone to iatrogenic lesions involves many medical fields generally with little expertise in voice disorders. Whenever the etiology is uncertain, a complete diagnostic work-up is mandatory. Indirect laryngoscopy confirms the diagnosis. Laryngeal electromyography is of great value because it differentiates between paralysis and ankylosis of the cricoarytenoid joint. Moreover in many cases laryngeal electromyography yields a reliable prognosis of clinical outcome. While unfavorable results can be predicted with high accuracy, correct prognosis of complete recovery is more difficult. Speech therapy is the treatment of choice in cases of unilateral recurrent nerve palsy. Patients with persistent glottal gap may express the wish for surgical voice rehabilitation. Nowadays a broad spectrum of endoscopic and open approaches are available for this purpose. This review describes advanced techniques of voice-improving surgery available in specialized centers today.
