Popis: Objective:The aim of this study is to evaluate smoothed cepstral peak point and laryngostrobosopic results in patients who underwent supraglottic laryngectomy.Method:Ten patients who underwent transcervical supraglottic laryngectomy with bilateral modified radical neck dissection, and who completed at least 12 months of follow-up, were included. All patients underwent laryngostroboscopic evaluation at study commencement; glottal closure and mucosal wave pattern were examined. Voice records were taken at fundamental frequency and smoothed cepstral peak point were analysed. Voice handicap index-10 was requested to be completed. Ten healthy individual constituted control group. Results were compared.Results:The mean smoothed cepstral peak points were 1.53-5.91 in the supraglottic laryngectomy group and 4.6-6.06 in controls, a significant difference. The fundamental frequency ranged from 174.49 to 197.25 Hz in the supraglottic laryngectomy group and from 118.57 to 197.61 Hz in the control group, also a significant difference. Laryngostroboscopic evaluation revealed no significant between-group differences in closure, but the mucosal waves differed significantly. Voice handicap index was significantly lower in supraglottic laryngectomy patients.Conclusion:Supraglottic laryngectomy reduces smoothed cepstral peak point and affects the mucosal wave, reducing voice quality.
