Abstract

Abstract : Program Description: Pediatric laryngology has experienced tremendous growth with increased focus on voice issues. This miniseminar incorporates viewpoints of several clinicians and will focus on clinically relevant matters for general and specialty otolaryngologists, including diagnosis, common pathologies, and operative and non‐operative approaches and techniques. Pathology includes benign vocal lesions, vocal fold paralysis, recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP), laryngeal webs, and subglottic stenosis. Non‐operative innovations will be discussed, including voice therapy, laryngeal electromyography, botulinum toxin, and fillers. Operative innovations include laser, techniques for vocal fold paralysis, and augmentations to standard open techniques. Differing practical approaches will be discussed in a panel format with presentations of challenging cases. Educational Objectives: 1) Illustrate the diagnostic approach of pediatric laryngology and give practical advice towards successful techniques. 2) Describe various diagnostic challenges in pediatric laryngological diseases and illustrate approaches towards proper diagnosis and treatment. 3) Elucidate newer innovative techniques in pediatric laryngology through case discussion and panel discussion.
