this is a keynote from the famous peak woo ,about New office-based injectables

this is a 60 minutes panel with 4 distinguished speakers about Vocal fold scars and aging

Introduction and Background: Professional singers present unique challenges to surgeons in terms of management for optimal results. Beyond phono-surgery techniques, the surgeon must factor into the decision to proceed with surgery factors such as the timing of surgery, preoperative phoniatric care, postoperative vocal rehabilitation, and the timing and decision to return to full voice use.

Goals:

a. To give the participant knowledge of the unique challenges in treating professional singers by surgery or office intervention

b. To appreciate the variety of office and surgical techniques tailored to the lesion and know how the impact of surgery will be on the singer vocal range and tambre.

c. To have a working appreciation of working with the singers’ schedule to produce maximum functional results.

At the end of the course, the attendee should have a better understanding of the special considerations for professional singers who undergo phono-surgery or office procedures.

ABSTRACT:

This 30-minute course will discuss the critical considerations regarding pre-operative, operative, and post-operative management unique to the professional singer who may require surgery or office intervention. We will discuss:

a. The common types of lesions in professional singers that may need surgical intervention. These include vocal fold lesions such as vocal fold varix, vocal fold polyps, nodules, cysts and pseudocysts, keratosis, and lesions of uncertain significance.

b. We will discuss the management of vocal fold scar, nodule, and vocal atrophy in the professional performer.

c. We will discuss management of glottis insufficiency due to vocal fold paresis and presbyphonia

d. Phonosurgery techniques that will be covered will include:

a. Microflap techniques, advancement flaps, and sutures

b. Use of operative angiolytic lasers

c. Role of fillers such as Restylane, PRP, nano fat, and microfat

We will cover important issues such as Preoperative and perioperative management considerations, including:

a. The singer’s lesion, style of singing, decision, and timing to proceed with surgical intervention.

b. The consideration for office-based intervention using KTP and Blue lasers, injection laryngoplasty with fillers or fat versus surgical operative intervention by microlaryngeal surgery with or without CO2 or angiolytic lasers, and the use of fillers

c. The role of office endoscopy and stroboscopy in the comprehensive rehabilitation of the singer after surgery regarding return to singing and return to full function.

At the end of the course, the attendee should have a better understanding of the additional considerations for professional singers who undergo surgery or office procedures.
