Title: | Modern Management of Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis: How We Do It | Authors: | Peetermans, Olivier Lavrysen, Emilie DEBEN, Kristof de Varebeke, Sebastien Janssens Vanderveken, Olivier Desuter, Gauthier |

This article can be used as a proposal for unilateral vocal fold paralysis treatment and as a possible indication for referral to a tertiary laryngology center. Unilateral vocal fold paralysis is a common condition, mainly caused by iatrogenic, neoplastic, or idiopathic causes. The initial treatment consists of vocal therapy with or without injection laryngoplasty. If voice impairment persists, a permanent reconstruction is usually proposed, mainly consisting of an adduction thyroplasty with or without arytenoid adduction or, to a lesser extent, laryngeal reinnervation, according to the patient's wishes. | Notes: | Peetermans, O (corresponding author), Univ Antwerp, Fac Med & Hlth Sci, Dept Otorhinolaryngol Head & Neck Surg, Antwerp, Belgium.; Peetermans, O (corresponding author), Antwerp Univ Hosp, Dept Otorhinolaryngol Head & Neck Surg, Edegem, Belgium. olivierpeetermans@hotmail.com |
