The thyrohyoid approach for vocal fold augmentation is well-tolerated and effective. This new office-based technique significantly improved patient quality of life and vocal fold function.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Speech Pathology

Background:

  • Vocal fold augmentation aims to improve voice quality and function.
  • Office-based procedures offer patient convenience.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate patient tolerance and clinical outcomes of a novel thyrohyoid approach for office-based vocal fold augmentation.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective chart review of 10 patients.
  • Patient-reported tolerance via a 10-point scale.
  • Quality of life assessed using Voice Handicap Index-10 (pre- and post-procedure).
  • Stroboscopic findings analyzed for wave symmetry, glottal closure, and implant migration.

Main Results:

  • All procedures were successful with a mean tolerance score of 2.1.

  • Voice Handicap Index-10 scores significantly improved (p=0.01), from 21.3 to 7.5.
  • Stroboscopic analysis showed improved wave symmetry and glottal closure, with no implant migration.

    • Conclusions:

    • The thyrohyoid approach is a successful and well-tolerated method for office-based vocal fold augmentation.
    • This technique offers significant improvements in voice quality and patient-reported outcomes.
