Laryngoplasty for vocal cord medialization: an alternative to Teflon

J A Koufman. Laryngoscope. 1986 Jul.

Abstract

Laryngeal framework surgery, using a Silastic implant placed between the thyroid cartilage and inner thyroid perichondrium for vocal cord medialization, offers an exciting new surgical option to intracordal Teflon injection for the relief of symptomatic unilateral vocal cord paralysis. A series of 11 patients who have undergone medialization laryngoplasty is presented. The advantages, technical details, and results of surgery are discussed.
