Emerging Therapies for Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis
09-13, 08:30–09:30 (Europe/Istanbul), Laryngology 2

My journey in otolaryngology began with rigorous medical training and specialization in one of Iran’s premier medical universities. My fellowship in laryngology has equipped me with a profound understanding of voice and airway disorders, allowing me to pioneer advanced therapeutic modalities within my clinical practice. As a faculty member, I am committed to educating the next generation of otolaryngologists while simultaneously engaging in research aimed at improving surgical techniques and patient quality of life. My contributions have positioned me as a leading expert in the management of complex laryngeal diseases in Iran and the broader Middle Eastern region.
