Vocal fold lesions (benign) can result in significant communication impairment which can have negative impact on social life and/or occupational activities. Recent research has shown that treatment success for vocal fold lesions can be done at a very high success rate. This expert series is designed to provide the practitioner with detailed assessment steps (history, stroboscopy and speech pathology evaluation), treatment decision making pathways and surgical techniques to care for this patient population. Key areas to be included will be stroboscopy, role of voice therapy, factoring in patient factors and various surgical approaches. The educational approach used will include providing a nomenclature framework for benign vocal fold lesions, a functional assessment of these patients, key variables in clinical decision making and review of the literature regarding outcomes of treatment. Clinical examples with video will be used as an essential educational tool.
