Gore-Tex Medialization Thyroplasty offers a valuable surgical option for vocal fold paralysis and paresis. This technique demonstrated efficacy in improving voice quality and function in initial patient evaluations.

Area of Science:

Otolaryngology
Laryngology
Speech and Voice Science

Background:

Vocal fold paralysis and paresis management involves controversial surgical techniques.
Numerous surgical approaches exist, with ongoing debate regarding efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the initial experience and efficacy of Gore-Tex Medialization Thyroplasty.
To assess the value of this specific surgical technique in managing vocal fold dysfunction.

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of fourteen patients undergoing Gore-Tex Medialization Thyroplasty.
Comprehensive pre- and postoperative assessments including videostroboscopy, aerodynamic, acoustic, phonatory, and psychoacoustic measures.
Blinded stroboscopic and perceptual evaluations alongside patient self-assessments.
