Abstract
Bilateral abductor cord paralysis is rare. But it requires urgent surgical intervention due to upper airway obstruction at glottis level. Percutaneous suture lateralization seems to be a safe and effective treatment, which enable patients to be devoid of tracheostomy without significant influence on phonation or swallowing function. Here we explain the technique of suture lateralization of vocal cord with the available resources.
