Abstract:Objective To investigate the effect of combined suspension laryngoscopic and endoscopic resection of vocal cord polyps on voice function and quality of life of patients.Methods A total of 152 patients with vocal cord polyps admitted to our hospital from July 2017 to June 2020 were randomly divided into observation group and control group, with 76 patients in each group. Patients in the control group were treated with suspension laryngoscopic surgery alone, while patients in the observation group were treated with combined laryngoscopic and endoscopic resection of vocal cord polyps. The therapeutic effect, voice function, quality of life and complications were compared between the two groups.Results The overall effective rate after treatment in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The degree of increase in harmonic to noise ratio after treatment was higher in the observation group, whereas the degree of decrease in normalized noise energy (NNE), jitter and shimmer after treatment was higher in the observation group compared with the control group (P < 0.05). The differences of scores of physical function, mental function, material life and social function as assessed via Generic Quality of Life Inventory-74 (GQOLI-74) before and after the treatment were greater in the observation group (P < 0.05). In addition, the overall incidence of complications in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05).Conclusions Combined suspension laryngoscopic and endoscopic resection of vocal cord polyps can restore voice function, improve quality of life and reduce the risk of complications.
