Transoral and transcervical surgery to treat glottic cancer has advanced substantially over the past decade. There have been considerable innovations that enhance vocal function for early disease and airway function…
Voice rehabilitation after transoral laser microsurgery to the larynx is challenging. We wait at least 6 months before surgical intervention. Only a few patients after total or extended cordectomy requested voice…
The ability to speak and communicate vocally is a unique human characteristic that is often taken for granted but is fundamental to many activities of daily living. Loss of voice…

For early-stage T1-T2 glottic squamous cell carcinoma, transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) is the main surgical modality, with rates of local control and laryngeal preservation ranging from 85% to 100% and…
Radiation-induced dysphonia can develop after radiation for primary laryngeal cancer or when the larynx is in the radiation field for nonlaryngeal malignancy. The effects are dose dependent and lead to…
