Literature & research
DrVoice has contributed to the medical literature on voice — most notably the laser reduction glottoplasty technique developed by Prof. Dr. İsmail Koçak.
Original publication
The technique, in the literature
Prof. Koçak's laser reduction glottoplasty (LRG) was first described in a peer-reviewed study and has since been adopted and studied by independent groups worldwide.

In the wider literature
Adopted & studied independently
Independent research groups have since documented and built on the technique. These are studies by other authors that describe or apply LRG.
