Abstract

This research is aimed at describing the therapeutic indications, prescribed by otorhynolaryngologists polyp patients diagnosed with tailpiece, including assessment, voice rest and therapeutic indications. The study attempts to reveal the presence of systematization in the previous process. This information is collected from a survey via e-mail applied to 29 physicians belonging to the Chilean Society of Otolaryngology (n =205). The data obtained indicate that there is no standard in the information asked for in the survey. However, the total number of doctors surveyed stated that the development of protocols for assessment and treatment of patients with vocal alteration would be useful.
