The Utility of Stroboscopy in Evaluating Patients with Benign Vocal Fold Lesions

Abstract

Purpose:The present study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the use of stroboscopy as an assessment tool for patients with benign lesions of the vocal folds.Methods: The current study was based on an extensive review of the international bibliography regarding the evaluation of voice in patients with benign lesions of the vocal cords using videostroboscopy. Results: Stroboscopy is a convenient technique used by otolaryngologists that has been established as a valuable diagnostic tool for assessing patients with dysphonia and benign vocal cords lesions.Conclusions: Stroboscopy is recommended in the literature as the preferred method for assessing vocal cord vibratory function. The future poses challenges in standardizing guidelines and quantifying measurements of stroboscopic findings.
