In our article titled “Tongue Edema Secondary to Suspension Laryngoscopy,” we presented
two patients who underwent prolonged suspension micro laryngoscopy (SML) and developed
edema of the tongue that was severe enough that intensive care unit admission with
airway monitoring was required.

At the time of its acceptance for publication in the Journal of Voice on September
23, 2019, the complication of tongue edema following SML had not been reported. We
were surprised that this problem had not been described in the literature.- Lafferty D
