This review article reports the evolution of knowledge regarding the benign proliferations of the posterior glottis commonly termed "vocal process granuloma".
A comprehensive review of publications addressing lesions of the posterior glottis is affected to analyze the contemporary management of vocal process granuloma.
Contemporary management emphasizes interventions to decrease irritation to the posterior glottis. Multiple causes of this irritation preclude use of a single management plan that will successfully address all cases.
Management to diminish laryngopharyngeal reflux, as well as to correct vocally abusive behavior, will appropriately address the majority of vocal process granuloma. Surgical removal is best reserved for cases when conservative management fails, when airway obstruction is a concern, or when a biopsy is needed to establish the diagnosis. Ancillary measures that may be beneficial in specific cases include the use of steroids, antibiotics, membranous vocal fold augmentation, and laryngeal botulinum neurotoxin injection.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 25 October 2023.
All research outputs
#7,610,295
of 34,492,055 outputs
Outputs from Head & Neck
#629
of 5,113 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#28,578
of 184,033 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Head & Neck
#2
of 13 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,492,055 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 73rd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,113 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.2. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 184,033 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 74% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 13 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 61% of its contemporaries.
