Advances in the management of glottic insufficiency.
Curr Opin Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 2003; (6): 480-4

Type I thyroplasty and injection of fat, fascia, and gelatin powder have been the mainstay of treatment to date, but the ability to restore a normal mucosal waveform to a damaged vocal fold remains an elusive goal.
