Surgical Procedures for Vocal Cord Paralysis

The provider performs arytenoidectomy or arytenoidopexy using an external, rather than endoscopic, approach. Arytenoidectomy is a surgical procedure in which the provider excises the arytenoids cartilage. Arytenoidopexy is a procedure in which the provider surgically affixes the arytenoid cartilage or muscles. These procedures usually help patients with vocal cord paralysis to improve breathing.
