ABSTRACT
@#<p style="text-align justify;"><strong>OBJECTIVES:
</strong> To describe a new method of medialization thyroplasty using a modified preformed nasal silicone implant.<br /><strong>METHODS:
</strong> <br /><strong>Design:
</strong> Surgical Innovation<br /><strong>Setting:
</strong> Tertiary Private Hospital<br /><strong>Participants:
</strong> Four patients underwent medialization thyroplasty using a pocket and nasal implant technique performed by the senior co-author. The indication for medialization thyroplasty for these patients was hoarseness secondary to unilateral vocal fold paralysis of more than 6 months duration, and documented by flexible fiberoptic laryngoscopy. The outcomes were described with comparison of pre- and post-operative subjective voice assessment. <br /><strong>RESULTS:
</strong> Operative time was 15-30 minutes. Postoperative subjective improvement of voice quality was evident. Scars were minimal and aesthetically acceptable. The procedure could be done on an outpatient basis.<br /><strong>CONCLUSION:
</strong> Medialization thyroplasty via a pocket and silicone implant technique is initially effective and may be a worthwhile alternative to the usual window technique.</p>
