Medical Conditions - Thyroplasty

Thyroplasty is a surgical procedure used in the treatment of vocal cord paralysis. In this procedure, the surgeon places a small implant into the weak or paralyzed vocal cord, which helps improves vocal cord functioning and allows better voicing. Common complications of thyroplasty are hoarseness of voice, neck soreness, and breathing and swallowing difficulties.
