Background and Objectives We evaluated the current status of percutaneous steroid injec-tion (PSI) procedure for benign vocal fold lesions performed in Korea in order to achieve con-sensus about the indications, contraindications, anesthesia, complications, and the role of PSI.
Subjects and Method An email-based questionnaire survey consisting of 11 questions wasadministered to 20 experienced laryngologists.
Results The most commonly used indication was small vocal nodule (32.7%). The mostcommon contraindication was vocal fold lesion with atrophy (46.9%). Triamcinolone injectionunder local anesthesia by cricothyroid was usually used in the PSI procedure. Following theprocedure, vocal fold atrophy was the most prominent complication (39.1%). The role of PSI isstill not well established; however, most laryngologists considered it to be an adjunctive treat-ment (61.9%).
Conclusion The survey results provide an insight into the general consensus of opinionabout PSI that guidelines for the indications, contraindications, anesthesia, and complicationsassociated with this treatment option should be facilitated.
