Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America

Gregory Grillone, MD has invited luminaries in the field of laryngology and phonosurgery to review the state of the art in human laryngology and voice disorders. Over the past decade, an improved understanding of the physiology of voice production has catalyzed medical and surgical interventions, resulting in new procedures, treatments, and opportunities for patients with voice disorders. These advancing initiatives are keeping pace with the aging of the population and the increase in oral communication in the workplace. This edition will include phonosurgery, phonomicrosurgery , common benign conditions , early glottic cancer, surgical treatment of paralysis of the vocal folds, laryngeal dystonias, pediatric laryngology, and prospects for the future.
