Abstract
Relaxation laryngoplasty is a surgical procedure that is indicated in mutational falsetto that does not respond well to voice therapy. By shortening the vocal cords, the fundamental frequency diminishes and gains a more male voice.
We present the case of a male patient, with mutational dysphonia characterized with inadequate tone elevation in relation to its gender. We describe the surgical technique and its outcome.
