Voice and communication after open partial horizontal laryngectomies: A cross‐sectional outcome study

alexandrossfakianakis shared this article with you from Inoreader

Abstract

Objective

The present study evaluates voice and communication after open partial horizontal laryngectomies (OPHLs), according to surgery and patient-related variables.

Methods

Fifty-eight patients were included: 18 type I OPHL, 20 type II OPHL and 20 type III OPHL. Acoustic, aerodynamic, endoscopic, perceptual and self-assessment analyses were carried out. Surgery-related variables and patient-related variables were considered for the analysis.

Results

Type I OPHL revealed the best phonatory outcomes. Type II and type III OPHL showed similar and poor results, with a highly deteriorated voice quality. A significant difference in MTP was found for patients who had both arytenoids/cricoarytenoid units preserved. Age and time from surgery showed significant correlations with voice quality after OPHLs.

Conclusions

Voice and communication outcomes after OPHLs are heterogeneous and might be influenced by several factors. Knowing variables with a substantial impact on phonatory outcomes may help clinicians in the preoperative decision-making process and the postoperative rehabilitative program.
