|
Background and Objectives： This study aimed to determine the clinical effect of Artecoll® injection laryngoplasty for patients with vocal atrophy and mild sulcus vocalis.
Materials and Method：Forty-one patients with vocal atrophy and/or mild sulcus vocalis received transcutaneous Artecoll® injection into the vocal folds under local anesthesia. Subjective evaluations including voice handicap index (VHI) and perceptual grading with Grade, Roughness, Breathiness, Asthenia, Strain (GRBAS) scales and objective evaluations including jitter, shimmer, noise-to-harmonic ratio (NHR), speaking fundamental frequency (SFF) and maximum phonation time (MPT) were evaluated before and 3 months after the injection.
Results： VHI and Grade, Breathiness and Strain scales in GRBAS showed significant improvement 3 months after injection. SFF and MPT also significantly improved after the injection ; MPT increased and SFF in male patients decreased.
Conclusion：Injection laryngoplasty with Artecoll® is an effective method for correcting the glottal insufficiency and improving voice quality in patients with vocal atrophy and/or mild sulcus.
