Abstract
This paper is focused on vocal fold surgery with phonosurgical intent. The aim of this review is to broaden phonosurgical knowledge, spread the ideas of the European Laryngological Society (ELS) on phonosurgery and translate the layered structure and physiology of the vocal fold described in Hirano's classic body-cover model into the graphic illustration of the "fluttering sleeve" created by Dikkers. In numerous countries, where phonosurgery is a relatively novel field of knowledge or still in its infancy, simple patterns and plain associations will serve the best in popularizing sophisticated vocal fold anatomy and preservation surgery and converting it into everyday routine.
