Abstract [eng] Laryngeal injections like hyaluronic acid and autologous fat have made a huge difference in the treatment of vocal fold palsy. Vocal fold palsy can significantly impact the voice and speech, leading to decreased quality of life and increased societal isolation for affected individuals. Vocal fold injection is a procedure known for over 100 years but gained new sympathy with the innovations of new materials and technology, along with new injections methods. Laryngeal injection has been shown to be a safe and effective treatment for laryngeal conditions, with the potential to reduce or even eliminate the use of surgeries. Laryngoplasty injection into the vocal folds was pioneered by Bruening in 1911 and has further evolved ever since. Therapeutic efficacy in these treatments is supported by extensive evidence, known to be the most common and reliable method of laryngeal injection therapy. This work explores the importance of laryngeal injection treatment for various deficiencies in the vocal folds, including the development, mechanism of action uses, and management of laryngeal injection techniques.
