title: Laryngeal dysplasia: an evidence-based flowchart to guide management and follow up.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Laryngeal dysplasia is an important pre-malignant lesion. In 2010, a consensus statement by ENT surgeons and pathologists was published outlining the management and follow up of patients with laryngeal dysplasia.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  After reviewing these guidelines, we noted the need for a flowchart for laryngologists to improve efficiency in managing dysplasia and encourage adherence to evidence-based protocols.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A diagram has been produced to aid other ENT units around the country.
