Has anyone had Type 1 Thyroplasty Surgery to repair vocal cord paralysis? I had a right lobectomy to remove a growth on my thyroid gland and it has been 8 months and my voice is still not back to normal. It is very scratchy and high pitched. My new ENT dr. has suggested Type 1 Thyroplasty and I would like to hear from anyone who has had this surgery and what the results were.
