Yoichiro Sugiyama
He graduated from Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine in 2001 and got a Ph.D. at the Graduate School of Medical Science, Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine 2010. He studied at the University of Pittsburgh as a postdoctoral fellow from 2010 to 2011. He worked in the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, from 2012. Assistant professor (2015 – 2017), Lecturer (2017-2024). He worked as a professor in the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Saga University Faculty of Medicine, since 2024. He is a specialist in Laryngology. He majors in clinical and basic Laryngology, particularly voice and swallowing disorders. His research interest is neuronal mechanisms underlying swallowing and vocalization based on electrophysiology.
Sessions
We will introduce electrical stimulation therapy for dysphagia, including interferential current stimulation and high-voltage pulsed current stimulation to improve swallowing response and laryngeal excursion, respectively.
We will demonstrate the surgical treatment of laryngeal stenosis, including posterior glottic stenosis, bilateral recurrent laryngeal paralysis, and subglottic stenosis, in the operating room. We may manage laryngomicrosurgery, stenting, and open surgery based on the severity and extent of the stenosis.
