Abstract

Laryngeal framework surgery (LFS) is a unique phonosurgical concept that enables us to influence the laryngeal biomechanics by changing the shape/position of the laryngeal cartilages. LFS procedures can be favorably combined with one another but also with other phonosurgical methods, and they are usually reversible and correctable. Type I thyroplasty and arytenoid adduction are still useful in spite of the recent popularity of injection laryngoplasty. Basic surgical principles have seldom been changed since Isshiki's development, but a number of modifications have been tried and are still going on. These delicate surgeries require exhaustive training, but the reward is great to both the surgeon and the patient.
