Vocal fold scarring, often from surgery, causes voice problems by replacing tissue with scar tissue. Treatment for this persistent dysphonia is challenging but options exist.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Speech-Language Pathology

Background:

  • Vocal fold scarring, resulting from trauma or iatrogenic injury, replaces healthy tissue with fibrous tissue.
  • This alteration disrupts normal vocal fold function, impacting the mucosal wave and voice production.
  • Persistent dysphonia following vocal fold scarring presents significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe common causes of vocal fold scarring.
  • To emphasize prevention of vocal fold injury during lesion removal.
  • To review contemporary assessment and treatment modalities for vocal fold scarring and associated dysphonia.

Main Methods:

  • Review of anatomic and histologic bases for voice alterations.
  • Discussion of current clinical and objective assessment techniques.

  • Overview of available treatment options.

    • Main Results:

    • Scarring leads to irreversible changes in vocal fold structure and function.
    • Effective assessment requires understanding underlying pathology and utilizing objective measures.
    • A range of treatments, from voice therapy to surgical interventions, are available.

    Conclusions:

    • Preventing vocal fold injury during procedures is crucial.
    • Comprehensive assessment is necessary for managing dysphonia due to scarring.
    • Various treatment strategies can be employed to address vocal fold scarring and improve voice quality.
