IAP - Presidential Letter

On behalf of the International Association of Phonosurgery and the Sociedad Argentina de la Voz I am pleased to welcome you to World Phonosurgery Congress 2019 and the 14^th meeting of the International Association of Phonosurgery. We are excited to share this program with our hosts, Sociedad Argentina de la Voz, and I am sure that this meeting will be an intellectually stimulating and complete educational experience related to the study of the human voice and surgical treatment. We have worked to bring to you an unprecedented group of international speakers in an effort to present a contemporary and worldwide approach to voice science and care. The meeting is set in the backdrop of the natural beauty and unique cultural environment of Argentina and we hope that you will enjoy not only the excellent education program but the social events, opportunities to connect with colleagues from many nations and enjoy the wonders of Buenos Aires and Argentina.

The International Association of Phonosurgery was founded in 1990 with its first meeting in Belgrade, Yugoslavia and a Mission which “Gathers voice surgeons and scientists of related disciplines, devoted to promote better voice care around the world by means of organizing and supporting educational and training activities, and also by cooperating with different international entities in order to facilitate the access to state of the art technology and training in areas of the world in need of progress.” The name was changed from the original “Phonosurgeons” to ‘Phonosurgery” to better represent the multidisciplinary efforts surrounding the surgical management of laryngeal and voice disorders. The IAP formally meets biennially, usually in association with another international voice meetings. In addition to our formal biennial meetings, the IAP also supports numerous other international programs by providing content and speakers. World Phonosurgery Congress 2019 is the 14^th meeting of the International Association of Phonosurgery.

I hope that you will enjoy the Congress, the city of Buenos Aires and Argentina.

Michael S. Benninger, MD
President, International Association of Phonosurgery
