Endonasal surgeries like FESS and septoturbinoplasty can temporarily increase nasalance, potentially causing hypernasal speech. However, nasalance levels typically return to baseline within three months post-surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Speech-Language Pathology

Background:

  • Nasalance, a measure of nasal resonance, can be altered following endonasal surgery.
  • The long-term effects of different endonasal surgical procedures on nasalance are not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate long-term nasalance changes after endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and septoturbinoplasty.
  • To determine the duration and reversibility of post-surgical hypernasality.

Main Methods:

  • Patients undergoing FESS or septoturbinoplasty were assessed for nasalance using a nasometer.
  • Nasalance measurements were taken pre-operatively and at one and three months post-operatively.

Main Results:

  • A significant increase in nasalance was observed one month after both FESS and septoturbinoplasty.

  • Nasalance levels largely returned to pre-operative levels by three months post-surgery in both groups.

    • Conclusions:

    • Endonasal surgeries, including FESS and septoturbinoplasty, may cause temporary hypernasal speech due to changes in the vocal tract.
    • Hypernasality following these procedures is generally a transient finding, resolving over time.
    • Patients, particularly professional voice users, should be counseled on the potential for temporary hypernasality.
