Dr. Chandan Seth, Dr. Sharafali Kadambott, Dr. Shrita Sarkar

Benign vocal fold lesions are common causes of change in voice which are often needed surgical correction. They include lesions like vocal polyps, vocal fold nodules, vocal fold cysts and Reinke’s edema. An observational cross-sectional study of 100 patients was conducted at Medical college and Hospital, Kolkata between January 2019 to June 2020. The purpose of the study was to evaluate outcome of micro laryngeal surgery for benign lesions of vocal fold using Videostroboscopy. All cases between the age group of 10 -65 years with clinical evidence of benign lesions of vocal fold were included in study. Using Videostroboscopy all the parameters like mucosal wave, amplitude, glottic closure, symmetry and periodicity were assessed both preoperatively and postoperatively at 6 weeks for the outcome of microlaryngeal surgery. At the end of the study data was compiled systematically and analysed using paired‘t’ test and Chi square test. Overall our study observed statistically significant improvement of all the parameters and also to that conclude microlaryngeal surgery as an effective way for improvement in speech parameters that can be assessed by videostroboscopy.
