Abstract
ObjectivesThe aim of this study is to compare voice outcomes in open partial horizontal laryngectomy vs. total laryngectomy (TL) with voice prosthesis.MethodsIn 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.ResultsForty-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.ConclusionsVoice quality could be slight better in patients undergoing TL with voice prosthesis than those undergoing OPHL.
