Effect of Superior Laryngeal Nerve Blocks on Patient Outcomes in Laryngeal Surgery
Sponsor: Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey

Patients undergoing surgery on their vocal cord will either receive a numbing injection to their throat or a saline injection during surgery. Symptoms such as how much coughing or pain patients have after surgery, as well as whether patient's voice gets better will be interrogated.

Interventions
Superior laryngeal nerve block - Intervention (Bupivacaine and triamcinolone acetonide suspension)
Patients will receive a superior laryngeal nerve block consisting of 1 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine and 1mL of triamcinolone acetate 40 mg/ml to the neck on the side of the vocal cord lesion during their surgery.
Superior laryngeal nerve block - Placebo (saline)
Patients will receive a saline placebo of 2mL saline to the neck on the side of the vocal cord lesion during their surgery.
