Chondrolaryngoplasty (commonly called tracheal shave, but this is a misnomer as the trachea is not involved) is a surgical procedure in which the thyroid cartilage is reduced in size by shaving down the cartilage through an incision in the throat, generally to aid those who are uncomfortable with the girth of their Adam’s apple.[1][2]
An alternative to this procedure is feminization laryngoplasty, albeit แม้ว่า this procedure involves additional risks and has an effect on the voice that the patient may not desire.[3]

Хондроларингопластика выполняется через поперечный разрез по нижней шейной складке длиной около 1,5 см с резекцией выступающего угла щитовидного хряща.
