Medialization Procedures
• Terminology often unclear– Open vs endoscopic– Office-based vs operating room– Thyroplasty vs laryngoplasty– Injectable implants vs permanent implants
• Implantable implants?
– Laryngoplasty is catch-all• Thyroplasty reserved for open procedures• Injection laryngoplasty (IL)/vocal fold injection (VFI)

Vocal Fold Injection
• Classic Laryngologic Problems– Glottic insufficiency catches all
• Vocal fold paralysis/paresis• Tissue loss (neoplasm/trauma)• Presbylarynx (subset)
– Loss of superficial lamina propria– Sulcus vocalis

Classics in VFI
• Brünings, 1911 – paraffin
• Arnold, 1963– Teflon
• All initially “office-based”– Awake, upright patients

Technique
• Mirror guided surgery
• General anesthesia - Standard of care ~1960– Priest, et al. Direct laryngoscopy under general anesthesia.

What awake VFI offers
• Shorter “down-time”
• Decreased cost (RVUs!)
• “Real-time” feedback– Addresses specific anatomic problem– More customized therapy– Multiple bioengineered injectable options – Open thyroplasty - OR mandated
![Page 9: Office Vocal Cord Injections: Applying bioengineered products to classic laryngologic problems Matthew Lutch, MD Head and Neck Surgery Kaiser Permanente](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081507/551a5eb0550346b52d8b47cc/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Disadvantages of VFI
• Preprocedure anxiety
• Intraprocedural gagging
• Cannot guarantee longevity of implant
• Precision of injection α patient comfort

Injectable options
• Duration, viscosity, inflammatory risk– Saline– Gelfoam– Restylane/Juvederm– Collagen– Fat– Artecoll/Teflon/Radiesse (CaHA)
![Page 11: Office Vocal Cord Injections: Applying bioengineered products to classic laryngologic problems Matthew Lutch, MD Head and Neck Surgery Kaiser Permanente](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081507/551a5eb0550346b52d8b47cc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Why hyaluronic acid?
• The “goo” molecule
• Carbohydrate polymer
• Extracellular matrix (15 grams/70 kg)
• Natural lubricant (synovial fluid)
• Cross-linking increases longevity

Awake approaches
• Real time voice/visual feedback• Transoral*
– Duplicates approach of direct laryngoscopy– Difficult in the gagging patient
• Percutaneous– Transcricothyroid– Transthyrohyoid– Requires MD or SLP to drive scope– Optimal in gagging patient
![Page 16: Office Vocal Cord Injections: Applying bioengineered products to classic laryngologic problems Matthew Lutch, MD Head and Neck Surgery Kaiser Permanente](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081507/551a5eb0550346b52d8b47cc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Technique of transoral injection
• Base of tongue directly topicalized– Cetacaine– Methemoglobinemia
• Atomized 4% lidocaine treatment
• Direct glottic topicalization
