How Vocal Cord Injection Laryngoplasty is performed
This procedure is often used for insufficient glottal closure, and materials such as hyaluronic acid, collagen, hydroxyapatite, or autologous fat can be selected. Usually, under direct endoscopic vision and monitoring, the material is injected into the vocal cord muscle layer through an oral or percutaneous approach to move the vocal cord towards the midline to improve closure. In the early postoperative period, attention is paid to airway patency, voice changes, and swallowing. Speech rehabilitation is arranged when necessary, with the goal of improving vocalization and preventing aspiration. The above is general health information and not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
