변성발성장애는 변성기의 시기를 지났음에도 불구하고 적절한 음도저하를 습득하지 못함으로써 야기되는 음성장애의 한 가지로, 이런 환자들에 대해서는 제3형 갑상연골성형술을 통한 수술적 처치나 음성치료로 그 문제를 해결할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이중 음성치료적인 측면에 초점을 맞추어, 음성치료에 의한 변성발성장애 치료의 효율성에 대해 고찰해 보고자 한다. (중략)

본 교실에서 1988년 1월부터 2002년 3월까지 시행했던 후두미세수술 2595례중 수술 후 성대낭종으로 확진된 121례를 대상으로 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) 전체 후두미세수술 2595례 중 성대낭종이 차지하는 비율은 121례로 4.7%였다. 2) 성대낭종 121례 중 유표피낭종은 33례로 27.3%, 저류낭종은 88례로 72.7%를 차지하였다. 이전 보고들에 비해 최근 들어 저류낭종이 증가하는 경향을 보이고 있다. 3) 성별분포는 121례의 성대낭종 중 여성이 81례(66.9%), 남성이 40례(33.1%)로 여성에 호발하는 양상을 보였고 유표피낭종의 경우에는 남녀비가 11 : 22, 저류낭종의 경우 29 : 59로 나타났다. 4) 이학적 검사소견으로서 유피낭종은 보다 진단이 용이하여 술 전 이학적 검사상 33례 중 21례(63.6%)에서 낭종을 의심할 수 있었으나 저류낭종은 성대 폴립이나 결절 등으로 오인되는 경우가 88례 중 56례로 63.6%를 차지했고 수술 전 낭종을 의심할 수 있었던 경우는 32례로 36.4%에 불과했다. 5) 병리조직학적 검사상 유표피낭종 내부에 PAS 음성인 케라틴과 콜레스테롤양(cholesterol-like)물질이 중층 편평상피로 구성된 막에 둘러 싸여 있는 양상을 보였고 저류낭종은 내부에 PAS 양성인 점액분비물을 포함하고 있는 원주 또는 입방세포로 구성된 막으로 이루어져 있었다. 6) 애성 발생과 관련된 유발 요인으로는 성대과용 또는 음성남용과 관련된 경우가 121례 중 42례(34.7%), 상기도감염 후에 발생한 경우가 21례(17.4%)로 나타나 성대과용과 상기도감염이 중요한 유발인자로 생각되며 수다스러움과의 관련성에 대한 조사에서 조사대상 84례 중 약 82.1%에 해당하는 69례에서 경도 이상의 수다스러움을 보이는 것으로 나타나 관련이 있는 것으로 생각되며 특히 저류낭종의 경우 관련이 더 많을 것으로 생각된다. 7) 발병부위는 대부분 막성유리연의 중간부 및 전방부 1/3에서 발생하였고 수술 결과는 저류낭종 82례 중 25례(30.5%)에서만 낭종의 파열 없이 완전제거가 가능하였으며 유표피낭종 30례 중에서는 21례(70.0%)에서 완전제거가 가능했던 것으로 나타나 저류낭종이 유표피낭종에 비해 낭종을 파열시키지 않고 완전히 제거하는 것이 더욱 어려움을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 저류낭종의 경우 낭종의 절제가 어려운 경우 수술방법으로 조대술(marsupialization)을 시행하는 것도 의미가 있을 것으로 사료된다. 8) 수술 전 후의 음성만족도를 비교한 조사 결과 조사가 가능했던 82례 중 49례(52.0%)에서 만족할 만한 결과를 보였다고 답하여 성대 폴립수술 후의 만족도와 유사한 결과를 보였다.

Background and Objective : Laryngeal microscopic surgery (LMS) is popular method to treat for vocal polyp. There is not always the improvement of the voice after operation. Many methods have been developed for better outcome of the surgery. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the triamcinolone injection at vocal cord during LMS. Materials and Methods : The medical records of 28 patients, received LMS under diagnosis of vocal polyp, were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were divided into two groups depending on whether triamcinolone injected or not (case group : Triamcinolone-injected group, control group : Triamcinolone-not injected group). The quality of voice was evaluated by GRBAS scale, fundamental frequency (Fo), jitter, shimmer and NHR (Noise to harmonic ratio) at previous operation, 4 weeks after operation, 8 weeks after operation. Each voice analysis factor was compared between case group and control group by Independent t-test. Results : The mean differences of each voice analysis factor. The mean difference of Jitter, Shimmer, NHR in case group were lower than in control group, and mean difference of GRBAS scale in case group were higher than in control group. These differences were not significant (p>0.05). Conclusion : Though there was a tendency of better voice outcome in patients of triamcinolone-injection, it may not be concluded that the triamcinolone injection is helpful for better voice outcome in surgery of vocal polyp due to statistical insignificance.

악성 신경초종의 두경부 영역에서의 발생은 극히 드물다. 대부분의 종양은 급속도로 커져가는 무통성 종물로서 발견되며, 그 증상은 대개 종물의 국소적 팽윤에 기인한다. 약 반수의 경우에서 본 레클링하우젠씨 병과 동반된다. 광범위한 외과적 절제술이 일반적으로 권장되는 일차 치료법이며, 최근 수술후 방사선치료를 이에 포함시키고 있다. 두경부 영역에서 발생한 악성 신경초종의 예후는 특히 나쁜 것으로 보고되어 왔으나, 최근에는 수술후 방사선 치료를 포함한 적절한 치료를 시행함으로써 생존율의 증가가 가능하게 되었다. 저자들은 사골동과 후두 등 희귀한 위치에 발생한 악성 신경초종 2례를 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고 하는 바이다.

Evaluating the patient's voice before thyroidectomy is useful for the purpose of identifying patients with vocal cord paralysis without symptoms, identifying other patient's voice abnormalities, and whether it is related to voice disorders that may occur after surgery. Also voice evaluation after thyroid surgery is helpful in diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation and follow-up of voice disorders that occur without clear nerve damage after thyroidectomy. And it is helpful for rapid recovery through active early rehabilitation treatment for patients who complain of speech impairment without paralysis. In particular, neck exercise can improve the adhesion of the surgical site and increase the range of motion of the neck as well as improve subjective neck discomfort. In addition, hearing, voice and breathing functions should be improved, and voice hygiene education and counseling should be provided. Vocal cord injection is the first treatment option for unilateral vocal cord palsy. By establishing a protocol for voice disorders before and after thyroid surgery and providing appropriate treatment, the quality of life of patients can be improved.

Hoarseness is a postoperative complication of thyroidectomy, mostly due to damage to the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN). Hoarseness may also be brought about via vocal cord dysfunction (VCD) due to injury of the vocal cords from manipulations during anesthesia, as well as from psychogenic disorders and respiratory and upper-GI related infections. The clinician or surgeon should 1) document assessment of the patient's voice once a decision has been made to proceed with thyroid surgery ; 2) examine vocal fold mobility, or refer the patient to a clinician who can examine vocal fold mobility 3) examine vocal fold mobility, or refer the patient to a clinician who can examine vocal fold mobility, once a decision has been made to proceed with thyroid surgery 4) educate the patient about the potential impact of thyroid surgery on voice once a decision has been made to proceed with thyroid surgery ; 5) inform the anesthesiologist of the results of abnormal preoperative laryngeal assessment in patients who have had laryngoscopy prior to thyroid surgery ; 6) take steps to preserve the external branch of the surperior laryngeal nerve(s) when performing thyroid surgery ; 7) document whether there has been a change in voice between 2 weeks and 2 months following thyroid surgery ; 8) examine vocal fold mobility or refer the patient for examination of vocal fold mobility in patients with a change in voice following thyroid surgery ; 9) refer a patient to an otolaryngologist when abnormal vocal fold mobility is identified after thyroid surgery ; 10) counsel patients with voice change or abnormal vocal fold mobility after thyroid surgery on options for voice rehabilitation.

Patients with tracheoesophageal fistula show signs of aspiration, possibly leading to pneumonia, which could be fatal to bed-ridden patients. Tracheoesophageal fistula occurs as a complication of intubation, tracheostomy tube insertion and nasogastric tube insertion. Possible etiology is pressure and ischemic necrosis given by tracheostomy tube and nasogastric tube to trachea and esophagus; or in some cases, larynx and hypopharynx. Meanwhile, for repair of tracheoesophageal fistula, transcervical approach can be considered but takes relatively long operation time and is not appropriate for patients with underlying diseases. We report a case of tracheoesophageal fistula complicated several years after tracheostomy tube and nasogastric tube insertion who came to medical attention with signs of aspiration. Authors successfully performed repair of the fistula under laryngeal microsurgery approach without skin incision and dissection, and thereby report the experience with review of literature.

Background and Objectives Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), mucolytics, and steroids were commonly recommended after phonomicrosurgery to prevent worsening of vocal fold (VF) scar formation and subglottal swelling. However, there is no consensus about whether laryngeal reflux and thick discharge are associated with the voice outcomes following phonomicrosurgery in benign VF lesions. The purpose of this study is to examine voice outcomes of use of PPIs, mucolytics,and steroids after phonomicrosurgery. Materials and Method This randomized controlled study is performed with patients undergoing laryngomicroscopic surgery for VF polyp and cyst. Participants were randomly assigned to 1) no medication, 2) PPIs, 3) PPIs+mucolytics, and 4) PPIs+mucolytics+steroids for 2 months postoperatively. Grade, roughness, breathiness, asthenia, and strain (GRBAS) scale, stroboscopic examination, aerodynamic assessment, acoustic analysis, and Voice Handicap Index-10 (VHI-10) were performed pre- and post-operatively at 2 months. Parameters were compared among four groups. Results Among 85 patients, a total of 50 patients were included. The VHI-10, perceptual and acoustic parameters improved in all groups after surgery. However, there was no significant difference in those parameters among all groups. Conclusion PPIs, mucolytics, and steroids did not significantly influence voice outcomes after phonomicrosurgery in patients with benign VF lesions.
