Lucian Sulica, MD, Director of the Parker Institute for the Voice, presented his technique for In-Office Vocal Fold Injection Augmentation in the awake patient at the 2019 Combined Sections Meeting in San Diego, CA. Vocal fold injection augmentation is a safe and effective treatment for a variety of disorders of vocal cord insufficency, including vocal fold paralysis, paresis and selected cases of scar and sulcus. The procedure is traditionally performed in the operating room on the fully anesthetized patient. Dr. Sulica has written extensively on vocal fold injection in the awake patient, including the largest series of cases published to date. The Triological Meeting presentation covered patient selection, injeciton technique and complications, all illustrated by procedure videos. Injection augmentation, performed regularly by all Parker Institute physicians, is a mainstay among treatment techniques, and a subject of ongoing development and investigation.
