Teflon injection has been used for vocal fold medialization following paralysis. Recently, numerous articles have discussed the complications of Teflon injection, including overinjection, airway obstruction. Teflon granuloma, and an abnormal mass effect creating a decreased vibratory character of the true vocal fold. Multiple techniques for Teflon removal have been described. This report details our experience with complete Teflon granuloma removal via a lateral laryngotomy under local anesthesia. Microscopic dissection of the entire granuloma and the paraglottic space was accomplished in all patients. Due to extensive destruction caused by the granuloma, the vocal ligament was resected in 3 patients; it was partially resected and reanastomosed in 1 case, and spared in 6 patients. Laryngeal reconstruction was accomplished with an inferiorly based sternohyoid muscle rotation flap and arytenoid adduction. Effortful speech secondary to pressed vocal quality resolved in all patients. Near-normal to normal vocal quality was obtained in 4 patients, with the average "voice desirability" improving 60% and the effective glottic width increasing 29%. Factors that contributed to a successful outcome included noninvolvement of the vocal ligament and sparing of the mucosal cover.
