Özet
<p>Abstract</p><p>Aim: This study aimed to compare voice changes after Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and Glomus body tumor resection with objective</p><p>instrumental and acoustic assessments.</p><p>Material and Methods: A total of 14 patients underwent CEA or glomus carotid tumor resection at our institution between 2009 and 2013.</p><p>Among the 14 patients, two patients were excluded due to vocal cord paralysis. This study was applied to 12 patients.</p><p>Patients were called retrospectively, and objective and subjective voice parameters were measured and compared. Voice handicap index was used</p><p>to measure subjective voice parameters. Objective voice analysis was performed for patients by using Multi-dimensional voice programming</p><p>(MDVP), a computer-aided program.</p><p>Results: A total of 12 patients were included in the study. Five patients underwent carotid endarterectomy. Glomus tumor resection was</p><p>performed on seven patients. Of the patients who underwent carotid endarterectomy, four were male and one was female. Three of the patients</p><p>who underwent glomus tumor resection were male and four were female.</p><p>Voice handicap index (VHI) showed that two patients who underwent glomus tumor resection experienced moderate problems and the patients</p><p>who underwent CEA had no obvious problems. Patients who underwent glomus carotid tumor resection obtained higher values in all MDVP</p><p>parameters than those who underwent CEA.</p><p>Conclusion: Despite the small number of patients, it can be said that glomus tumor resection in neck surgery, that is, tumor surgery, causes more</p><p>voice changes than carotid endarterectomy operations. The elevated objective sound parameters found in this study necessitate that patients</p><p>should be informed regarding the potential of developing postoperative dysphonia, especially those who rely on their voice as their profession</p><p>(e.g. sound artists, teachers, politicians).</p><p>Keywords: Glomus tumor, carotid endarterectomy operation, voice handicap index, multi-dimensional voice programming (MDVP), N.</p><p>larynges sup</p>
