Thyroplasty
Thyroplasty is of 4 types: type 1 thyroplasty, lateralization of cord, shortening or relaxation and elongation or tensioning.Type 1 thyroplasty, that is the medialization laryngoplasty, was first described by Isshiki in 1974 and has become popular since the late 1980s. In medialisation laryngoplasty, a window is cut in the thyroid lamina in the neck on the paralysed side and the piece of thyroid cartilage is depressed inward towards the midline until the normal cord touches the paralysed cord, thus closing the glottic gap resulting in normal voice.

Recurrent throat, mouth, tongue problem
In dec 2024 i got seriously ill, my uvula was elongated (treated with medicine), then after this i got throat infection every month with fever and mouth ulcer, i went to doctor they said it was pharyngitis and gave medicine but the illness kept coming back until august, then in september 2025 i was having serious stomach problems and got diagnosed with ibs. and the throat problem stopped after that. then in jan 2026 it came back again associated with fever, then it happened again in feb and march. so i went to guwahati in march and went to arhi hospital and apollo hospital. i chatted for long with the doctor at arhi explaining my problems, he said my problem wasn't a big one and i did not need a tonsillectomy and advised me to use betadine gargle everyday for 3 months then i went to apollo and the doctor said it was tonsilllopharyngistis and adv tonsillectomy and did aso test (result 49). but my problem is still there with burning mouth syndrome at times.[i followed arhi doctor advice]
