Abstract

Office based injection laryngoplasty for voice and swallow disorders is increasing steadily. In recent years, the application of injection laryngoplasty is extended to inject medicine, such as cidofovir or botox. The reason why office based injection laryngoplasty is increasing in popularity is several potential advantages when compared with other procedures. It can avoid surgical scar and is easily performed with local anesthesia. However, injection can be performed in a variety of settings, depending on several factors, including the goal of the procedure, patient comfort and anatomy, and physician skill. In this article, we describe indication of injection laryngoplasty and discuss about various techniques for procedure.
