ABSTRACT
Rehabilitation and function following three anatomically discrete forms of partial laryngectomy (hemilaryngectomy, subtotal supraglottic laryngectomy, and partial laryngopharyngectomy) were studied in 68 patients. Study parameters included posttreatment respiration, deglutition, taste, smell, and hearing function; articulation and voice analysis; and social, communicative, and vocational adjustment. The major portion of the study involved specific testing of posttreatment voice quality and articulation. Recorded word lists and sentences were evaluated by independent observers regarding breathiness, hoarseness, harshness, pitch, loudness, and intelligibility. These data were analyzed employing a Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) through the Washington University computer facilities.
