OBJECTIVES: Upon completion of this activity, the participant should be able to:
1.     Describe the pathophysiology and risk factors of intubation-related laryngeal injury, tracing the progression from early mucosal ulceration granulation to mature posterior glottic scar.

2.     Differentiate posterior glottic stenosis from bilateral vocal fold paralysis using laryngoscopic findings, arytenoid palpation, and laryngeal EMG, and grade severity using the Bogdasarian classification.

3.     Formulate a management approach for acute and chronic laryngeal injury, selecting among conservative measures, endoscopic scar division and dilation, and airway expanding procedures based on chronicity and stenosis grade.
