Abstract
- Introduction: Few studies have evaluated complications from chondrolaryngoplasty related to postoperative changes in voicing. This study adds to the literature a presentation of voice changes experienced by a patient following chondrolaryngoplasty.<br />Methods: Case-report.<br />Results: We present the case of a transgender female who experienced significant changes to pitch, vocal range, intensity, and vocal quality following chondrolaryngoplasty. Changes may be attributed to a surgical technique that failed to identify the level of the vocal folds during the operation.<br />Discussion: Chondrolaryngoplasty is a complex operation. This case illustrates the potential complications resulting from a surgical technique that fails to appropriately identify the level of the true vocal folds' to avoid destabilization of the anterior commissure.<br />Conclusions: We reported this case of significant complication related to voicing following chondrolaryngoplasty. Future studies are necessary to explore potential long-term voice complications from this procedure. Surgeons performing this procedure must be aware of this potential complication.<br />Competing Interests: CONFLICTS OF INTEREST None.<br /> (Copyright © 2022 The Voice Foundation.
