A new arytenoid adduction technique was devised for reduction of hoarseness in patients with unilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis. In our technique, the arytenoid cartilage is fixed in fully adducted position by suturing directly to the cricoid cartilage, instead of Isshiki's technique, in which the muscular process is pulled by nylon threads and fixed in the particular portion of the thyroid cartilage. Our technique has some advantages over Isshiki's; 1) easy to conduct, 2) easy to confirm proper adduction of the arytenoid under direct vision, 3) easy to combine with thyroplasty, 4) less possibility of loosening of sutures. Arytenoid adduction was performed with this technique in three patients, all of whom had excellent improvement of voice.
