Transoral Endoscopic Thyroidectomy Vestibular Approach (TOETVA): Influences on the Voice Changes and Swallowing Function Disorders.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) on voice changes and swallowing function disorders.
Materials and methods: We retrospectively reviewed 215 patients who underwent thyroid surgery with TOETVA (105 cases, endoscopic group) and open approach (110 cases, open group). Major outcomes, the changes in voice and swallowing function in the 2 groups of patients before and after surgery were analyzed by using both subjective and objective evaluation indexes. Subjective evaluation indexes included the Voice Handicap Index, voice GRBAS (Grade, Roughness, Breathiness, Asthenia, Strain) classification, and swallowing impairment score; the objective indicators included the fundamental frequency (F0), fundamental frequency perturbation (jitter), amplitude perturbation (shimmer), and maximum phonation time.
Results: In terms of subjective evaluation indexes, there were no significant differences (all P> 0.05) between the groups regarding Voice Handicap Index (1 and 3 mo after surgery) and GRBAS (1 and 3 mo after surgery). The incidence rates of swallowing disorder in the endoscopic group were higher than that in the open group according to the outcomes of swallowing impairment score at 1 and 3 months after surgery (both P< 0.05). In addition, no significant changes in terms of jitter, shimmer, and maximum phonation time in both groups of patients at 1 and 3 months after surgery compared with their preoperative values (all P> 0.05).
Conclusions: Voice and swallowing disorders may occur in some patients, either TOETVA or open thyroid surgery, which in most cases will recover within 3 months after surgery. The time to swallowing function recovery is relatively prolonged in patients following TOETVA, which may be probably associated with neck adhesion and fixation after the operation.
