Medical:
Various types of medications can improve different laryngeal disorders. These medications will be explained to you at length during you office visit and educational handouts will be provided.

Speech Therapy:
Speech therapy helps people who have trouble talking to other people. The services we provide include evaluation and treatment of speech, language, and hearing problems in children and adults. Our department works in conjunction with the laryngologists and audiologists to improve communication abilities of our patients. Speech therapy may be the only treatment needed for some voice disorders and also is used to aid in recovery after surgery of the larynx.

Surgical Intervention:
After all conservative measures have been exhausted, a surgical procedure may be recommended to improve the vocal effects of your laryngeal disorder.

Microlaryngoscopy With Phonosurgery:
A very delicate surgical procedure to remove lesions from the larynx using phoneatric instruments for optimal results.

Fat Injection Thyroplasty:
A procedure used for augmentation of the vocal folds to achieve better laryngeal
closure. The benefits include using your own tissue, therefore diminishing side
effects.

Gore-Tex® Thyroplasty:
This procedure is used to close a bigger laryngeal gap. The technique involves
insertion of a Gore-Tex implant through a small incision in the neck.
