Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Speech and Voice Science
  • Surgical Nursing

Background:

  • Unilateral vocal cord paralysis significantly impairs voice quality.
  • Medialization thyroplasty offers a surgical solution to improve voice in such cases.
  • The role of perioperative nursing in laryngoplasty success is critical.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the design of a thyroplasty implant for vocal cord medialization.
  • To highlight the essential role of the perioperative nurse in laryngoplasty procedures.
  • To emphasize the collaborative effort in achieving voice improvement through thyroplasty.

Main Methods:

  • Design and application of a novel thyroplasty implant (prosthesis).
  • Perioperative nursing coordination for sizers, implants, and instrumentation.

  • Intraoperative assessment of voice improvement during implant trial and placement.

    • Main Results:

    • The thyroplasty implant is designed for medialization to restore voice.
    • Effective communication and planning by perioperative nurses are key to procedure success.
    • Successful voice phonation is achieved through precise implant sizer selection and placement.

    Conclusions:

    • Thyroplasty implants provide a method for voice restoration in unilateral vocal cord paralysis.
    • Perioperative nursing is integral to the successful execution and outcomes of laryngoplasty.
    • The collaborative surgical approach ensures optimal voice improvement for patients.
