Spasmodic dysphonia continues to be a management problem for otolaryngologists. Selective lysis of the recurrent laryngeal nerve has been useful in the management of this disease. Reported long-term results, however, reveal that spasm recurs in approximately 40% to 50% of initially successful patients in spite of persistence of the unilateral vocal fold paralysis. Although some of these failures can be recaptured with subsequent laser surgery, the overall “cure” rate does not exceed 70%, even in the best hands. The contributions of Isshiki, LeJeune, and Tucker have demonstrated that tension in the vocal folds can be adjusted by laryngeal framework surgery. Experience with 16 patients suffering from adductor spasmodic dysphonia suggests that laryngeal framework surgery is useful in the management of this disorder.

OBJECTIVE: To histologically evaluate the long-term outcomes of autologous fat grafts after injection laryngoplasty in the human larynx. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: We injected liposuctioned fat for vocal fold augmentation in patients with vocal fold paralysis. We suctioned autologous fat from the low abdomen with an 18-G disposable needle and a 20-mL disposable syringe under negative pressure. This is different from the conventional liposuction technique and avoids the use of special equipment. In this article, we report the histological evaluation of 2 patients (patient 1: 12 months, patient 2: 41 months) who required total laryngectomy after autologous fat injection into the vocal folds. RESULTS: Histological examination revealed normal-appearing viable adipocytes with minimal inflammatory response in both patients. CONCLUSIONS: Our liposuctioned autologous fat injection histologically offered long-term improvement in patients with impaired glottal closure from vocal fold paralysis.
