University Hospital Reports Findings in Dysphonia (Characterizing Dysphonia After Pediatric Open Airway Reconstruction: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis).

A recent report from University Hospital in Montreal, Canada, discusses the findings of a study on dysphonia, a voice disorder, in pediatric patients who have undergone open airway reconstruction surgery. The study analyzed various factors such as acoustic parameters, perceptual voice quality, and voice-related quality of life. The researchers found that pediatric patients who experienced dysphonia after the surgery had moderately decreased voice quality and reduced quality of life. The study emphasizes the importance of preserving voice quality during airway reconstruction to avoid negative impacts on patients' overall well-being. [Extracted from the article]
