Abstract
Long-term results of surgical treatment of spastic dysphonia by RLN [recurrent laryngeal nerve] section are evaluated by means of perceptual psychophysical scaling and by the patients themselves. A significant reduction in spastic dysphonia symptoms occurs as a result of surgery, and these results are maintained after long-term follow-up in the majority of patients. These experimental observations agree with the subjective assessment of postsurgical communication by the patients involved in the study.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
