Phonomicrosurgery for benign vocal Fold lesions - our experience

Benign lesions of glottis creates stiffness of the vocal fold and inefficient glottal valve, aerodynamically effecting the vocal quality by preventing smooth vocal edge closure. Introduction of phonomicrosurgical techniques based on Hirano ’s principle of vocal fold epithelium have revolutionized results of voice surgery. Our experience in the management of benign vocal fold lesions by phonomicrosurgical techniques with pre and post operative stroboscopic, perceptual and computerized acoustic voice analysis is described.
