The most common cause of vocal cord paralysis is nerve damage to the voice box, which may be caused by head or neck surgery, thyroid surgery, tumors, infections, or neurological conditions. The nerves that control the larynx muscles are injured, which can lead to disabled function.
It can be easy to identify vocal cord paralysis if you watch out for the common symptoms. Common vocal cord paralysis symptoms include hoarseness or lost voice, problems swallowing, a weak cough, a wheezing or raspy sound when breathing, fatigue while speaking, and shortness of breath during exercise. You might also feel shortness of breath even with minimal physical activity.
Hyaluronic acid injection laryngoplasty or medialization with hyaluronic acid is a non-surgical procedure used to correct vocal cord paralysis. It involves injecting the vocal cords with hyaluronic acid to fill the space between them and support the folds. It is a painless procedure that demands minimal recovery time.
Duration: 10 minutes
Anesthesia: Nasal anesthetic and decongestant
Hospitalization: None
Recovery: 2 days
In some cases, we may recommend surgical intervention in the form of type 1 thyroplasty. In this case, a small incision is made through the neck to the cords, and a supporting implant is placed. This minimally invasive vocal cord surgery will correct the positioning of the paralyzed vocal folds and close the space between the folds, improving the quality of the patient’s speech.
Duration: 2 hours.
Anesthesia: Sedation
Hospitalization: 1 day
Recovery: 2 weeks
