“…2 Additional alternatives to mitigate complications were deemed somewhat effective, either by means of retracting posterior to the thyroid cartilage to protect the vocal cords or using shear cutting forceps. 3,4 Although this procedure is many times a small portion of a larger operation, possible complications include contour irregularities, unfavorable scarring, and most importantly, vocal cord damage, which causes lowering of the voice. Avoidance of these complications requires careful presurgical planning and intraoperative technique.…”

“…Thyroid chondroplasty is a cosmetic procedure and is designed to feminise the appearance of the neck. 6,7 It has no effect on the voice. During the procedure of thyroid chondroplasty, the upper parts of the thyroid laminae, the most prominent part of the thyroid cartilage, are removed with no disturbance to the function of the larynx.…”

OBJECTIVE: Cricothyroid approximation is performed in male-to-female transsexuals to raise the pitch of the voice often accompanied by a thyroid chondroplasty, an aesthetic reduction of the thyroid cartilage. The survey was conducted to ascertain patient satisfaction with the procedures. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: Fifty-four patients had the procedures performed in our department over an 8-year period; 45 patients were sent postal questionnaires to evaluate patient satisfaction with the appearance of the laryngeal prominence, pitch of the voice, and which they found more beneficial, the surgery or speech therapy. RESULTS: A response rate of 93% was obtained; 86% of patients thought their laryngeal profile had improved, 79% thought their voice had improved, and 55% thought that surgery and 21% thought that speech therapy had helped more in improving the voice. Overall, 79% were satisfied with the results of the surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Cricothyroid approximation and thyroid chondroplasty have a high patient satisfaction rate.

Spiral computed tomography before and after cricothyroid approximation

Cricothyroid approximation raises the vocal pitch by simulating the contraction of the cricothyroid muscle with sutures. The aim of this study was to determine the role of spiral computed tomography (CT) in patients scheduled for cricothyroid approximation. Twenty-nine transsexual patients were examined with spiral CT before and after laryngoplastic surgery. Computed tomography findings were correlated with phoniatric findings in all patients. The average reduction of the cricothyroid distance was 6 mm (range 2-10 mm). The vocal pitch elevation was more remarkable in the patient group with greater reduction of the cricothyroid distance. Computed tomography accurately determines the cricothyroid distance before and after surgery and is an ideal method for follow-up purposes, especially when there is a postoperative reversion towards a lower pitch. In addition, CT provides important data as to the most appropriate extent and site of intracordal intervention to be done for a desired pitch elevation.
