The 5th Middle East Voice and Laryngology Symposium

The scientific program of the 5th Middle East Voice and Laryngology symposium has been tailored to address four main themes that have markedly evolved over the last two decades; The worldwide epidemic of obesity and its impact on the various components of the phonatory apparatus, the laryngeal behavior vis-à-vis the hormonal climate, office-based controversies in the management of benign lesions of the vocal fold, and last but not least, the morbid echo of head and neck surgery on voice.
