Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study is to compare voice outcomes in open partial horizontal laryngectomy vs. total laryngectomy (TL) with voice prosthesis.<br />Methods: In this retrospective monocentric study patients undergoing OPHL or TL with voice prosthesis were enrolled during the usual oncological follow-up consultations at the Otolaryngology and Audiology Unit of a University Hospital in the period between July 2022 and June 2023. Acoustic analysis (F0, HNR, NHR), maximum phonation time, I-SECEL and INFV0 scale were used to assess voice outcome.<br />Results: Forty-three patients were enrolled. Voices of patients undergoing LT were better in quality of voice (V0) at INFV0 scale. The scores in I-SECEL and acoustic analysis were comparable.<br />Conclusions: Voice quality could be slight better in patients undergoing TL with voice prosthesis than those undergoing OPHL.<br /> (© 2024.
