DAVALOS-FUENTES, Mario S. e MARVIN-HUERGO, Michelle E. de L.. Voice and quality of life results in patients with unilateral vocal fold abduction paralysis treated with medialization thyroplasty. Cir. cir. [online]. 2021, vol.89, n.4, pp.443-448. Epub 03-Nov-2021. ISSN 2444-054X. https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.20000495.
Objective:
To evaluate functional and quality of life results in patients with unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFAP) of different etiology, who underwent medialization thyroplasty, using Netterville's technique.
Method:
In patients eligible for medialization thyroplasty, maximum phonatory time was measured, quality of life (VRQoL) and functionality (VHI-30) questionnaires were applied before surgery and posteriorly at 3 and 6 months after surgery. Means comparison tests were used to analyze the results.
Results:
Medialization thyroplasty was carried out in 27 patients presenting with UVFAP from 2013 to 2019. All had a statistically significant and clinically significant improvement. This was measure with maximum phonatory time (medium of 4.07 to 11.07 seconds), VHI-30 (medium of 81 to 29 points), and VRQoL (medium of 33 to 15 points). No mayor complications were documented.
Conclusions:
Medialization thyroplasty is a safe procedure that significantly improves functionality and quality of life in patients with UVFAP.
