Injection medialization laryngoplasty improves dysphagia in patients with unilateral vocal fold immobility.

Objective: To assess patient reported swallowing outcomes before and after injection medialization laryngoplasty in patients with unilateral vocal fold immobility (UVFI).

Methods: Case series with chart review of patients with UVFI who underwent injection medialization laryngoplasty at a community laryngology practice by a single clinician between October 2015 and December 2017. Patient-reported validated surveys of swallowing impairment, Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10), demographics, etiology and duration of symptoms were recorded before and after injection.
