Vocal Rehabilitation of Paralytic Dysphonia

Vocal Rehabilitation of Paralytic Dysphonia: IX. Technique of Intracordal Injection

“…[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] In the meantime, other authors have confirmed our experiences and suggested that further studies should be undertaken.14- 16,18 The principle of restoring the voice through narrowing a deficient glottis has been corroborated also by J. G. Waltner,20 who implanted a cartilaginous graft lateral to the cicatricial cord with good functional results. It seems to be the consensus of these opinions that intracordal injection is a suitable method for vocal rehabilitation in various conditions when the vocal disability is due to insufficient closure of the vocal cords during phonation.…”

Textured polydimethylsiloxane elastomers in the human larynx: Safety and efficiency of use

“…For over 3 decades, polytetrafluoroethylene, better known as Teflon, has been the mainstay of treatment for problems related with glottic insufficiency. 15 The effectiveness of an injectable 50/50 mixture consisting of polytetrafluoroethylene and glycerol in treating paralytic dysphonia has been reported. [16][17][18] Injection of polytetrafluoroethylene is followed by a marked chronic inflammatory reaction, with fibrosis contributing to the mass effect.…”

Anatomical variations of the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve in relation to the inferior constrictor muscle: cadaveric dissection study

“…17 The voice symptoms associated with injury to the nerve are easy fatigue during phonation and difficulties with high pitch and singing voice; these symptoms are likely to have serious consequences for a professional voice user. 17 The voice symptoms associated with injury to the nerve are easy fatigue during phonation and difficulties with high pitch and singing voice; these symptoms are likely to have serious consequences for a professional voice user.…”
