Abstract
The management of voice disorders requires a close collaboration between the throat surgeon and the speech therapy team. The diagnosis of cordal lesions is essential to an accurate therapy. Stroboscopy contributes functional information which is useful to decide between microsurgery, vocal reeducation or a combined treatment. We have reviewed our phonomicrosurgery cases for the past five years and analyzed the correlation between preoperative diagnosis obtained by stroboscopy and intraoperative findings. In 90% of cases there exists a relation between both diagnoses. We consider stroboscopy as an essential means of evaluation to establish an adequate management and guidance for surgical treatment.
