This article prospectively analyses 10 patients with a unilateral vocal cord paralysis who were nonrandomly selected for laryngeal framework surgery. Pre- and postoperative videolaryngoscopic, acoustic, and laryngeal airflow recordings of each patient's voice were taken and compared with the patient's own subjective analysis of his/her voice. Results indicate that laryngeal framework surgery using the surgical technique described in this paper gives a statistically and clinically improved voice in the short term.
