Abstract Objectives Patients presenting with hoarseness and diagnosed with high‐grade Reinke's edema (RE) will often require surgical intervention for polypoid changes of the true vocal folds. We compared patient outcomes in patients who had microflap or microdebrider excision surgeries. Methods Patients with the diagnosis of grade II or grade III RE based on laryngoscopy or videostroboscopy who failed conservative management underwent surgery using the standard excision practice of the primary surgeon. Voice outcomes were compared using VHI‐30 (Voice Handicap Index), V‐RQOL (Voice‐Related Quality of Life), and MPT (maximum phonation time) preoperatively and at 1‐month and 6‐months postoperatively. Results Of the 115 patients included, there were 46 RE grade II patients and 69 RE grade III patients with 52 patient undergoing microflap surgery and 63 patients undergoing microdebrider surgery. Both procedures resulted in significant improvement in VHI‐30, V‐RQOL, and MPT at 1‐month and 6‐months postoperatively. The microdebrider group had better 6‐month VHI scores (40.84) than the microflap group (44.54) (CI −7.27 to −0.12). The microdebrider group also had better 6‐month V‐RQOL measures (62.56) than the microflap group (57.79) (CI 0.38–9.16). Conclusion Both microflap excision and microdebrider excision for high‐grade RE lesions resulted in significant improvement in VHI‐30, V‐RQOL, and MPT at 1‐month and 6‐months postoperatively with the microdebrider excision group scoring statistically significantly better at 6 months in comparison to the microflap group. Overall, the results support the use of both surgical modalities for treating high‐grade RE patients. Level of evidence 3. |
