Vocal Cord Paralysis (Recurrent Paresis): Therapy

Further measures:

  • Vocal exercises
  • Electrotherapy
  • Thyroplasty, if necessary: in this procedure, a cartilage window is excised through a small skin incision above the thyroid cartilage and an implant (e.g., titanium implant) is inserted, medializing the vocal fold (i.e., shifting an anatomical structure medially, toward the center of the body).
