“…The number of abnormal voice parameters at 1 week correlated significantly with persistent voice symptoms at 6 months post-thyroidectomy. 20,21 In our study, patients with the EBSLN injury had persistent symptoms and unchanged video stroboscopic abnormalities at 6-month follow-up.…”

Background: Importance of Sentinel lymph node (SLN) in thyroid surgery has received little attention compared to Recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN). Injury to the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN) is a voice-altering complication of thyroid surgery that has significant implications for professional voice users. The symptoms can be nonspecific and the subtle laryngoscopic manifestations are often overlooked. Methods: This study involved 50 patients of thyroid disease with no prior voice pathology who subsequently underwent thyroid surgery. All patients underwent voice analysis pre-operatively, including video laryngoscopy, voice analysis and Grade of hoarseness, roughness, breathiness, asthenia, and strain (GRBAS) scale. Voice analysis was repeated at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 3 months and 6 months post operatively. Patients with no change in voice after 04 weeks were not followed up subsequently.Results: Of 50 patients, 20 (40%) patients underwent hemithyroidectomy, 18 (36%) total thyroidectomy, 11 (22%) subtotal thyroidectomy and 1 (2%) Near total thyroidectomy. Based on voice analysis, patients were categorized into four different groups namely - normal with no laryngeal nerve injury (N=45, 90%), RLN palsy (N=2, 4%), SLN palsy (N=3, 6%). Patients with SLN palsy showed bowing of vocal cords persisting till 06 months post operatively. There were changes in fundamental frequency also, which appeared at 02 weeks and gradually improved on subsequent follow up. Conclusions: The prevalence of SLN injury and dysfunction is unknown as many cases go undiagnosed. Further research is needed to improve the index of suspicion in patients with poor voice quality and reduced vocal range post operatively. On improved diagnostic accuracy, early treatment of this complex disorder may lead to significant recovery.

“…Recent studies have shown that even in cases of preservation of the superior and recurrent laryngeal nerves, complaints of voice changes and difficulty and/or discomfort during swallowing are still observed [3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. In most cases, these symptoms may be transient [10], but there is a persistence of symptoms in some patients [11][12][13].…”

Introduction: Swallowing and voice alterations may manifest in patients with thyroid disease, especially after thyroidectomy. Objective: To identify the prevalence of patients with complaints of swallowing disorders after thyroidectomy and to evaluate patients' perceptions regarding swallowing before and after the procedure. Methods: A prospective longitudinal study was performed with 26 consecutive patients undergoing a private service thyroidectomy, in which the presence of swallowing dysfunction was evaluated using validated questionnaires that addressed the perception of swallowing by patients before (on the day of surgery) and after the surgery (on the first postoperative day). Results: Of the 26 patients, 18 (69.2%) were subjected to total thyroidectomy and 8 to partial thyroidectomy. Analysis of the domains of the Swallowing Handicap Index questionnaire showed higher scores when evalu
