The 60-year-old Mr. Xie has good singing skills, and his friends call him the "God of Singing." However, his voice gradually became hoarse. "I was saved." I turned to Dr. Sun Chuan-hong from the Department of Otolaryngology at Taichung Tzu Chi Hospital for minimally invasive thyroid cartilage vocal cord plastic surgery. My voice came back, and I regained my singing time! Mr. Xie, who loves to sing high notes and has a vocal cord groove, is prone to secondary injuries after traditional surgery. Mr. Xie, who has a good singing voice, loves to sing high notes with his friends. Years ago, his voice gradually became hoarse, breath sounds appeared, and he was prone to choking. He visited many clinics and clinics in the past four or five years. After a consultation at the medical center, the diagnosis was that the vocal cords had atrophied and sunken into "vocal fold grooves," resulting in poor voice quality, incomplete vocal fold closure, breathy sounds, and polyphony. Mr. Xie's voice was seriously damaged. A doctor told him: "There is no need to seek medical treatment everywhere, your voice is hopeless!" However, traditional "vocal fold groove" surgery directly peels off the adhesive area of ??the vocal cords, which can easily cause secondary injury to the vocal cords and cannot be cured. Improved with better treatment methods, therefore, Mr. Xie gradually faded out of the circle of friends and became less talkative, and his interpersonal relationships were seriously affected. Until Mr. Xie went to the otolaryngology department of Taichung Tzu Chi Hospital for a cold, he held on to his last glimmer of hope to see if his voice could be saved. Dr. Sun Chuanhong used endoscopic laryngeal scintillation examination and analyzed the complex sound frequency and amplitude clutter through a sound spectrometer, and diagnosed a very serious "vocal fold atrophy combined with vocal fold grooves". New surgery reduces the risk of secondary injury. Dr. Sun Chuanhong discussed with Mr. Xie and decided to use the new "minimally invasive thyroid cartilage vocal cord plastic surgery" which is very invasive and will not leave wounds on the surface of the vocal cords to cause secondary injuries. A small hole of 0.1 to 0.2 cm is opened in the front. Microsurgical instruments are used to peel off the superficial mucosa of the vocal cords and vocal cord ligaments. The fat is re-inserted and the hole is filled. The procedure is completed in about 1 hour. Mr. Xie recovered well. His voice gradually changed from hoarse to clear. He almost no longer choked and coughed. His polyphonia was also significantly improved. He subsequently participated in voice therapy courses to learn the correct pronunciation method, and his voice quality was greatly improved. He was very satisfied with the treatment effect and finally found his singing friends and resumed his singing time. If your voice is hoarse for more than two weeks, get checked immediately. Vocal fold atrophy or vocal fold grooves may occur in patients who have overused their vocal cords, improperly produced their voices, had vocal cord surgery causing adhesion, or received electrotherapy. Dr. Sun Chuanhong said that if the hoarseness lasts for more than two weeks, it is best to have an endoscopy to check the vocal cords as soon as possible and give the throat timely rest. To pronounce the sound correctly, you must use the abdomen to make the sound, so that the throat will not use excessive force and avoid worsening of the hoarseness.
