With the reform in laryngology practice toward office-based laryngeal
surgery, many laryngeal procedures are now performed in-office, thus
sparing patients the need for general surgery and the morbidity
associated with direct laryngoscopy. Among these procedures is
steroid injection in patients with various voice disorders. Numerous
reports indicate that intralesional steroid injection leads to
complete or partial disease regression of vocal fold nodules, polyps,
Reinke’s edema, and cysts, among other benign lesions. Intralesional
steroid injection is also used for the treatment of vocal fold scars
to enhance vocal fold malleability and function, and for the
management of laryngo-tracheal stenosis to improve breathing and
prolong surgery-free intervals. Office-based laryngeal steroid
injection is also an effective adjunct treatment modality to other
types of office-based laryngeal procedures, such as laser therapy.
Atlas of Office-based Laryngeal Steroid Injection provides an overview
of office-based laryngeal injection of steroids in the management of
benign lesions of the vocal folds, vocal fold scars, subglottic
stenosis and many other laryngeal inflammatory conditions as a result
of systemic diseases. The reader will have access to close to 150
images and 12 video-recordings of surgical cases that were treated
in-office using different approaches for injection. It compiles pre,
intra, and post-operative endoscopic images of the larynx in patients
with voice disorders treated in-office with steroid injections. This
atlas is ideal for otolaryngologists, laryngologists, fellows and
residents, speech-language pathologists, phoniatrists, and voice
therapists.
