Abstract

|
Glottic closure is essential for vocalization and airway protection. Several pathological conditionscause glottic insufficiency, such as vocal fold paralysis and presbylarynx, which is theage-related atrophy of laryngeal muscle. Injection laryngoplasty is common technique to treatglottic insufficiency, because it can be easily and inexpensively performed in an outpatientsetting. Different injection material should be selected according to the purpose and patientcondition before the procedure. Ideal material for injection laryngoplasty must be biocompatible,and the injected volume should be maintained for the desired duration without migration.
Further, it will be better if it could be easily injected and removed. In this article, we reviewedthe published research related to material for the injection laryngoplasty and tried to thinkabout the limitations of current studies and the future direction of treatment.
