Abstract
We reported two cases of unilateral vocal cord paralysis with recovery of vocal cord mobility after surgery of thyroplasty type 1. Both cases had normal voice and showed almost normal movement of the vocal cords in the state of a silicon block inserted into the position lateral to the vocal cord. The advantages of thyroplasty type 1 has been insisted to be simplicity and reversibility of technique. In addition, it was revealed that the silicon block do not restrict the vocal cord movement after recovery from the paralysis.
