BackgroundTo compare free thin anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap with free radial forearm (FRF) flap in the reconstruction of hemiglossectomy defects, and to introduce our methods and experience in the tongue reconstruction with free thin ALT flap.Material and MethodsThe clinicopathologic data of 46 tongue carcinoma cases hospitalized from December 2009 to April 2014 were obtained from Nangjing Stomatological Hospital, Medical School of Nanjing University. All the subjects were evaluated for the articulation and the swallowing function 3 months after the surgery.ResultsAmong these 46 patients, 12 patients underwent tongue reconstruction after hemiglossectomy with ALT flap; 34 patients underwent tongue reconstruction with FRF flap. The differences in the incidence of vascular crisis, the speech and the swallowing function between two groups were not significant (P>0.05).ConclusionsThin ALT flap could be one of the ideal flaps for hemiglossectomy defect reconstruction with its versatility in design, long pedicle with a suitable vessel diameter, and the neglectable donor site morbidity. Key words:Free thin anterolateral thigh flap, free radial forearm flap, hemiglossectomy, reconstruction, morbidity.

“…Die Patienten durchlaufen bei dieser Behandlungsmethode 5 Stufen, in denen sie von der Kontrolle über den stimmlosen unforcierten Luftstrom über behauchte Abstufungen von Stimmgebung und Tempowechsel bis zur klaren Stimmqualität ohne An-spannung gelangen. Nach der Behandlung waren in beiden Studien signifikante Verbesserungen im Bereich der objektiven Stimmqualität, der Aerodynamik und der Selbstwahrnehmung erreicht worden [43,44].…”

The aim of the present study was a systematic literature review on selected evidence-based voice therapy programs for the treatment of various types of dysphonia. The results showed that nine of seventeen voice therapy programs complied the selection criteria. All nine voice therapy programs revealed significant improvements in various aspects of laryngeal evaluation, voice quality, vocal function, and/or self-evaluation. These improvements might be expected between one day to ten weeks. Mostly, the voice therapy programs based on physiological voice therapy.

“…This was because patients with MTD could react better to speech therapy than anti‐reflux 13,18 . In patients with hyperfunctional voice disorders, a voice therapy plan that targets attainment of a physiological balance between the vocal subsites has also manifested a significant improvement 20 …”

Objective To analyze the Reflux Symptom Index (RSI) and the Voice‐Related Quality of Life (V‐RQOL) scores based on the perceptual and analytical parameters in primary MTD patients with no reflux. Study Design Cross‐sectional study. Methods One hundred and eighteen participants, that is, sixty patients with normal voices and fifty‐eight patients with primary MTD were recruited in this study. The diagnosis of primary MTD was made by perceptual voice analysis, neck palpation, video‐laryngoscopic examination, and exclusion of other etiologies. Acoustic analysis and the GRBAS (Grade, Roughness, Breathiness, Asthenia, and Strain) scale were evaluated for all participants. The V‐RQOL and RSI questionnaires were then given to all participants. Results This study included 118 participants of 29 males (48.3%) and 31 females (51.7%) in the normal group. MTD group also included 27 males (46.6%) and 31 (53.4%) female patients. Mean (SD) RSI and V‐RQOL scores were 12.35 (3.84) and 11.09 (2.20) for the normal group, and 22.87 (6.97) and 22.89 (7.94) for the MTD group (P = .000). In the MTD group, V‐RQOL had a positive correlation with jitter for /i/ and /u/, Noise to Harmonic Ratio (NHR) for /i/, /a/, and /u/, and Grade, Roughness, and Strain of GRBAS scale (P < .05). In addition, RSI had a positive correlation with Strain in the MTD group (P < .05). Conclusion MTD patients in the absence of laryngopharyngeal reflux findings may have high RSI scores. Hence, patients with high RSI scores and disproportionate acoustic and perceptual analysis would require a thorough evaluation of MTD. Level of Evidence 4 Laryngoscope, 131:E1573–E1579, 2021
