This report reviews laryngoplastic techniques for correction of bowing of the vocal cords, with special consideration to the anatomic details of the anterior commissure. I present a new technique in which the glottic gap is closed by bilateral medialization. This technique may be superior to those described previously, since the correction achieved at the time of surgery is maintained by the placement of Silastic.
