Incision will be made at the lower border of thyroid cartilage under aseptic measures. Skin flaps will be raised in sub-platysmal plane, strap muscles will be separated in the midline to expose the laryngeal cartilaginous framework. A simple laryngeal window approach will be used to place the Ethicon prolene mesh 6 x 6cm Swiss roll, secured with prolene 2/0 suture trimmed to the required size. Post op voice analysis will be done on 7th day and 14th post-operative day.
