J95: Postprocedural respiratory disorders, not elsewhere classified
J95.5: Postprocedural subglottic stenosis
The larynx can be seen particularly well in men as a bulging area at the front of the neck. This area is also called the Adam’s apple. The larynx is important for breathing and speaking. It consists mainly of cartilage, ligaments, and muscles. The vocal cords are also located in the larynx.
In your case, the larynx beneath the vocal cords is constricted. As a result, you may be hoarse or develop shortness of breath.
Your larynx is constricted due to a treatment or examination. Possible reasons may have been for instance artificial respiration or an operation in the throat region.
