Abstract
A soprano voice from cricothyroid fusion is a rare complication following thyroidectomy. Thyroid surgeons should be aware of this possibility and recognize it early if voice pitch rises following thyroid surgery. This patient's unfortunate complication may prove fortuitous for phonosurgeons and their patients. Cricothyroid fusion may provide a better long-term retention of frequency elevation than traditional cricothyroid approximation. It is also a reversible procedure. Cricothyroid fusion should be investigated as an alternative to cricothyroid approximation for pitch modification.
