Unilateral vocal fold paralysis is a condition in which one vocal fold loses mobility, causing persistent hoarseness and, at times, swallowing difficulty. Early glottic cancer, if not detected promptly, may spread locally and complicate treatment.

Individuals who smoke, consume alcohol, or experience hoarseness lasting more than three weeks are advised to undergo early laryngoscopic evaluation.

Dr. Guru N. Reddy, Founder and Chairman of Continental Hospitals, highlighted global advancements in ENT, Head & Neck Surgery and encouraged young ENT surgeons to embrace emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, tissue regeneration, 3D printing, biologics, and robotic techniques to advance clinical excellence.
