title: [Subjective and objective assessment of voice quality after surgical treatment of overgrowth changes in vocal folds].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Complex estimation of results of treatment micro surgically of ill larynx with overgrowth changes of vocal folds and comparison of usefulness different methods of research phonation function of larynx, and also estimation of influence disturbances of voice on functional state, emotional and physical ill applying to Clinics.
  
  
  METHODS
  With researches embraced group 40 ill with hoarseness, of which reason one was organic changes of vocal folds under form of polyps, of vocal nodes, of cyst and of swellings Reincke, attended operational (microsurgery with method Kleinsasser). Voice priced twice before intervention surgical and 3 months after operation. In researches used with scale GRBAS, with estimation laryngostroboscopy of function of vocal folds, analysis acoustic created of voice and Polish version of Voice Handicap Index (VHI).
  
  
  RESULTS
  Values p = 0.001 for "G" and p = 0.002 for "B" testify about special usefulness these two values of scale GRBAS in estimation of efficiency used treatments. Value p = 0.0004 obtained in research VHI proves distinct statistical symptomatic between estimation one's own voice and his of influence on life ill before and after operation and about good result of treatment. Statistical analysis examined of acoustic parameters showed on indeed statistical symptomatic difference only in chance of variable RAP (p = 0.03). Greatly usefulness for estimations used treatments showed stroboscope research, where especially character close of glottis (p = 0.003) and changes of mucosal wave (p = 0.008) show distinct dependence statistical difference before and after operation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In complex estimation of voice ill after operation overgrowth changes of vocal folds greatest usefulness showed research of laryngostroboscopy, Voice Handicap Index (VHI) and qualification of grade-G and breathiness-B in scale GRBAS. Thanks used to method VHI ill oneself priced efficiency effect treatments, and doctor knowing answers of patient on each questions canned properly to steer further treatment.
