The authors discuss laryngologist's participation in the adapting treatment of transsexuals of M/F type, including reduction of laryngeal prominence of thyroid cartilage, voice rehabilitation and nose operation. Literary reference is presented in the paper, as well as a case of a 27-year-old patient a transsexual of M/F type, in whom the prominence of thyroid cartilage was removed. Ethic and legal aspects of that management are also demonstrated.
