Vocal dysfunction in patients with thyroid pathology has been poorly documented, and dysfunction after thyroid surgery is generally reported in terms of recurrent laryngeal nerve or external laryngeal nerve palsy. But voice dysfunction is more complex than simply nerve integrity. The present study reports the incidence of dysphonia in patients presenting for thyroid surgery, and relates postoperative changes in vocal function to recurrent and external laryngeal nerve function, and the surgical handling of the strap muscles.
