Abstract: CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Thyroplasty is a surgery carries out to change the location of the vocal cord to improve the voice in dysphonic patients. Some studies have proposed a large scale of the practicable process through which thyroplasty may take part in voice disorders treatment. Although, the underlining thyroplasty procedures and their effects on voice disorders are not fully understood. We conducted this study to review the possibilities procedures suggested for the effects of thyroplasty in the treatment of patients with dysphonia. DESIGN AND SETTING: Narrative review conducted at the Medical College, Najran University, Najran City; Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. METHODS: A search in the online databases PubMed, LILACS, and SciELO was selected in August 2020. RESULTS: 78 articles were included and shown to contain information concerning of thyroplasty surgeries and their purposes. 4 types of thyroplasty procedures can improve the voice permanently in the patients with dysphonia mainly caused by vocal cord paralysis, spasmodic dysphonia, puberophonia (high vocal pitch), and androphonia (low vocal pitch). In some cases, small significant complications may present after a procedure such as edema, wound sepsis, and hematoma and it is treated quickly and easily. CONCLUSION: The outcome may put some guidelines on the maximum amount of the thyroplasty procedure to treat the dysphonic patients. Nevertheless, further human studies are secured to reduce the small significant complications of thyroplasty surgery.
Key words: Thyroplasty, dysphonia, treatment.
