Abstract

A description of pitch reduction thyroplasty has been around for decades, primarily used for high-pitched voice disorders in cisgendered men. Currently, the application of an Isshiki type III thyroplasty and its modifications is mainly used in transgendered men who fail to achieve sufficient pitch reduction from speech therapy and masculinizing gender-affirming hormone therapy. The current state of the procedure with a description of commonly used modifications is reviewed.

Keywords: Male; Masculine; Speech; Testosterone; Transgender; Voice.
