Summary

External vocal fold medialization thyroplasty improved breathing and voice without increasing laryngeal resistance. This study assessed aerodynamic parameters after the procedure for voice, swallowing, and breathing impairments.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Speech-Language Pathology
  • Pulmonology

Background:

  • External vocal fold medialization thyroplasty addresses voice, swallowing, and breathing issues from glottal insufficiency.
  • Limited data exists on the aerodynamic effects of this procedure.
  • Investigating these effects is crucial for understanding treatment outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of vocal fold medialization thyroplasty on laryngeal stenosis.
  • To analyze specific aerodynamic parameters before and after the procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Thirty patients (12 female, 18 male) received external vocal fold medialization with a titanium implant.
  • Procedures were performed under local anesthesia with IV sedation.
  • Pulmonary function tests were conducted pre- and post-surgery, with statistical analysis of parameters.

Main Results:

  • Patients reported enhanced breath control during various activities.
  • No significant changes were observed in tested aerodynamic parameters post-surgery.
  • The procedure did not lead to increased laryngeal resistance.

Conclusions:

  • Medialization thyroplasty with an implant is safe regarding aerodynamic function.
  • The procedure effectively improves patient-reported outcomes without negatively impacting laryngeal airflow dynamics.
  • Further research can explore long-term aerodynamic stability.
