Implication

Prospective observational study demonstrates improved acoustic parameters and quality-of-life scores in patients undergoing microlaryngeal surgery, indicating enhanced functional vocal recovery.

Key Points

To evaluate voice quality and Voice-Related Quality of Life outcomes before and after microlaryngeal surgery in patients with benign vocal cord lesions.
Prospective observational study of 45 patients with benign vocal cord lesions undergoing microlaryngeal surgical excision from January 2023 to June 2024 at a single medical center in India.
Patients underwent pre- and postoperative assessments using videostroboscopy, acoustic voice analysis software, and VR-QOL scoring.
Videostroboscopy showed postoperative improvements in symmetry, amplitude, mucosal wave, and glottic closure across evaluated vocal cord lesions.
Acoustic parameters including fundamental frequency, maximum phonation duration, intensity, jitter, shimmer, and signal-to-noise ratio improved significantly following surgery (p < 0.05).
VR-QOL scores decreased significantly postoperatively (p < 0.05), indicating a substantial reduction in perceived voice handicap.
