More formally, chiroplasty, or cheiroplasty, is a term which refers to plastic surgery of the hands. The term combines root word chir(o), which means hand, and the suffix -plasty, which means surgical repair.
After thyroplasty, the vocal cords are in contact and the patient's vocal quality is significantly improved. He is now able to speak without breathiness and speak in complete sentences. Thyroplasty is a procedure in which an implant is placed in the larynx (voice box) alongside the vocal cord. This implant pushes the vocal cord closer to the middle. Both vocal cords need to touch in the middle in order to have a strong voice. The implant allows a paralyzed or weak vocal cord to reach the midline.
