Thyroplasty

Introduction to Thyroplasty

ThyroplastyThyroplasty is a surgical procedure that is performed to improve the voice by altering the voice box that is the cartilages of the larynx. The vocal folds that are the vocal chords, inside the voice box are changed and repositioned to alter the voice. It is also known as laryngeal framework surgery.

Procedure of Thyroplasty

Generally, Thyroplasty is performed by making a small incision in the skin near the larynx, after the patient is anesthetized. A tiny piece of thyroid cartilage is removed and replaced with a small block of silastic, which is medical grade plastic that pushes the vocal fold to midline
,thus improving the vocal chord closure. Next a fiberoptic scope is inserted through the patient's nose to help the surgeon performing thyroplasty observe the placement of the block.


Length of Thyroplasty

The surgery of Thyroplasty generally takes 1 to 2 hours. The patient is kept in the recovery room for observation and discharged the next day.

Side Effects of Thyroplasty

The patient is asked to speak in a confidential voice after the surgery and refrain from whispering and yelling. As such there are no such noticeable side effects of thyroplasty other than the common temporary effects such as swelling and discomfort. Thyroplasty is a relatively quick and painless surgery.

Apollo Hospital has ENT specialists and the foremost ENT department that offers the latest in Thyroplasty and other ENT care facilities and surgeries. There are professional ENT doctors who perform Thyroplasty at Apollo Hospital.
