Conclusion
Chondrolaryngoplasty with
resection of the laryngeal prominence was a safe and effective procedure
for the aesthetic adequacy of transgender women, with significant
patient satisfaction regarding the postoperative cervical appearance.
The surgery caused no vocal change. There was no major complication of
chondrolaryngoplasty in this study.
