Preface

Thank you for your interest in our book entitled Decision Making in Vocal Fold Paralysis: A Guide to Clinical Management. The intricate nature of laryngeal innervation, response to neural injury in the larynx, and variable presentation of symptoms set a landscape for a complex and nuanced decision-making process for the physician caring for patients with vocal fold paralysis. This text brings thought leaders and master clinicians together to share their wisdom and expertise regarding clinical decisions surrounding unilateral and bilateral vocal fold paralysis. Designed as a “what to do and why” as opposed to a “how to do” guide, the authors detail the reasoning process from work-up, through intervention, to posttreatment decision-­ making. We would like to thank the outstanding contributors to this effort, which we believe fills a unique gap in the medical literature, and we would like to thank you,
