The purpose of this study is to introduce a new injection material and discuss the effectiveness and complications. Subjects and Method: Eleven cases with vocal cord paralysis were analyzed after plasma gel injection, The plasma gel was acquired from patient's own blood. The preoperative and postoperative parameters including maximum phonation time (MPT) and subject aspiration score were analyzed. Results: There was a significant improvement in MPT and aspiration score in the case of vocal cord palsy. There was only one laryngeal complication. Conclusion : According to these preliminary results, the injection laryngoplasty with Plasma gel is a simple, safe, cheap procedure for temporally vocal fold palsy.
