The main cause of unilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy is iatrogenous injury. The treatment is conservative, surgical or combination

of both. We present a retrospective cohort of 10 patients with miscellaneous etiologie factors causing a unilateral laryngeal nerve

palsy. The surgical treatment methods included a thyroplasty and a nerve suture of injured nerve. Indication of surgical tratment as well

as functional results of various methods are discussed.
