Abstract
The results of Polytef injection of the vocal cords in 34 patients over the last 3 yr were reviewed. Two complications of respiratory distress were noted. It was easy and safe to carry out this procedure under general anesthesia using a shorter needle and a modified laryngoscope. There were no complications to the general anesthetic.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
