OBJECTIVE: To present the outcomes of office-based autologous fat injection laryngoplasty for the treatment of vocal process @entity738 in conjunction with glottic insufficiency. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective chart review. METHODS: This study included nine @entity1 with vocal process @entity738 in conjunction with glottic insufficiency who received autologous fat injection laryngoplasty. Videolaryngostroboscopic data, objective voice assessment, perceptual measurements of vocal quality, and subjective ratings of @entity1740 were examined before and after treatment. RESULTS: Of the nine @entity1 , seven (78%) exhibited complete remission. The other two @entity1 (22%) exhibited a partial response following the injection. In a subgroup of five @entity1 who were refractory to antireflux and voice therapies, the resolution rate was 60%. Phonatory function presented significant improvements in jitter, noise-to-harmonic ratio, maximal phonation time, and @entity1395 . Videolaryngostroboscopic rating revealed significant improvements in closure phase ratio in the vibratory cycle. CONCLUSIONS: Autologous fat injection laryngoplasty can ameliorate glottic insufficiency and the resulting hyperfunctional behavior of the larynx. This therapy also encourages remission of vocal process @entity738 and may represent an alternative treatment strategy.
