VC implant: Assume you are asking about laryngoplasty either by injection or Type I with silastic prosthesis.. Injection procedure can performed in office setting with or without sedation. Type I procedure performed in OR usually with patient sedated but able to follow voice commands. Procedures generally safe. Transoral route for injection requires good topical anesthesia, good visualization.
