Abstract
Background:
Voice outcome was assessed in patients with extended T1 and limited T2 glottic carcinoma, treated with a unilateral type III or a bilateral type II resection according to the European Laryngological Society (ELS) classification.
Methods:
Objective evaluation (acoustic and aerodynamic parameters), perceptual
evaluation (GRBAS), and patients' self-assessment (voice handicap index [VHI])
were performed before and 1 year after treatment. Results were evaluated according to ELS resection type and the involvement of the anterior commissure.
Results:
The majority of voice parameters in all resection subgroups showed an
improvement of the mean score 1 year postoperatively. Grade of dysphonia varied
between 1.15 and 1.66 postoperatively and VHI score varied from 23.3 to 24.5.
Conclusion:
Voice outcome after ELS unilateral type III or a bilateral type II resection for extended T1 and limited T2 glottic carcinoma is good with mild to very
moderate perceptive dysphonia and low self-reported voice impairment.
