Case Study #2   51 year old special education teacher who

uses amplification but reports it is “static-y”   “Voice fades” by 11am  Frequent coughing and throat clearing  Drinks 80+ oz of water and no caffeine  Takes multiple asthma and allergy

medications  Diagnosed with dysphonia resultant from

true vocal fold scarring secondary to three laser-excision procedures for removal of vocal fold nodules at an outside ENT

Case Study 2: Surgical Complications

 Video   If surgery is opted for, the procedure

that causes the least degree of damage is called a “microflap” technique.

 DO NOT proceed with any surgery that involves “stripping” or “cutting off” the lesion.

 Ask specific questions about the surgical techniques your MD uses.
