- Abstract
Lipoinjection of vocal cords is a minimally invasive phonosurgical treatment, which is used to increase the volume of vocal cords if the glottal gap is less than 3 mm. Glottic gap is usually caused by paresis of the recurrent laryngeal nerve or as a result of vocal cord muscle atrophy in the elderly (presbyphonia). In this article, a case report of a patient with presbyphonia who underwent lipoinjection of the vocal cords is presented. The aim of this case report is to highlight the use of lipoinjetion of vocal cords in elderly patients with presbyphonia in case of unsuccessful conservative treatment.
