Abstract
Objective
This study aimed to explore the clinical efficacy of the microsuture technique combined with voice therapy in patients with Reinke's edema.
Methods
46 patients with Reinke's edema admitted between April 2017 and August 2021 were selected and randomly divided into simple surgical and combined therapy groups. The simple surgical and combined therapy group were evaluated preoperatively and at 3 months after surgery using subjective and objective voice analysis.
Results
Compared with the preoperative state, there was a significant improvement in the acoustic parameters 3 months postoperatively. The G and R scores, Voice Handicap index-10 (VHI-10), and jitter parameters of the combined therapy group were lower, whereas F0 and maximum phonation time (MPT), changed significantly in the combined therapy group, fundamental frequency perturbation (jitter), and MPT acoustic parameters of the combined therapy group were lower than those of the simple surgery group (P < 0.05).
Conclusion
The microsuture technique is preferable for eliminating vocal folds surgical wounds and promoting mucosal recovery, and combined with voice therapy is more helpful to comprehensive improve the quality of phonation.
