title: [Significance of temporary injection into the lining of the vocal cords in the treatment of paralytic dysphonia].
abstract: We report on our clinical experience with the so-called temporary injection of the vocal cords by means of gelatin paste (Gelfoam) application, performed on 24 patients. In a fairly high percentage of patients we noted a long-lasting positive result in respect of vocal performance, despite persisting vocal cord paresis. It is believed that in such cases the relatively slow absorption of the gelatin paste creates favourable conditions for spontaneous phonatory compensation.
