| ABSTRACT |
Objectives:
Prospective study of quality of life in patients underwent microlaryngeal surgery for dysphonia was performed.
Materials and Method
s : 51 patients with dysphonia took part in the study, and patients with malignancies or functional voice disorder were excluded. Patients were asked to complete the SF-36 questionnaire before surgery and within 6-12 months after surgery. Preoperative and postoperative SF-36 scores were compared with data on 46 age-matched healthy controls.
Results
The most of SF-36 subscale scores showed significantly improvement after surgery, except of PF (physical functioning) and MH (mental health). Preoperative scores had significantly poorer than the normal controls on 6 subscales, but there is no statistically significant differences between postoperative scores and normal controls on 5 subscales.
Conclusion
In the study, patients with organic voice disorder show improvement in quality of life after microlaryngeal surgery. |
