    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Speech and Voice Science

    Background:

    • Unilateral recurrent nerve paralysis commonly causes dysphonia.
    • Polytef (Teflon)-glycerine suspension is a recognized treatment for vocal fold paralysis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of intracordal polytef (Teflon)-glycerine suspension for dysphonia.
    • To identify critical factors influencing treatment outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Intracordal injection of polytef (Teflon)-glycerine suspension was performed.
    • Patient selection and injection technique were key procedural elements.

    Main Results:

    • The procedure demonstrated high effectiveness in relieving dysphonia.
    • Suboptimal technique or patient selection led to poor or worsened voice quality.
