Abstract
In 1963, Brodnitz conducted a study which assessed the vocal recovery incidences for patients with voice problems, which included a group of patients with vocal cord nodules (singers' nodules). Nagata et al., (1983), compared the long-term outcome in vocal nodule patients treated by surgery alone, with those treated by minimal conservative measures, and those not treated at all. However, there is no reported study which compares the long-term outcome of patients with vocal cord nodules treated surgically with those treated with a combination of surgery and speech therapy, and those treated only with speech therapy.Keywords
