“…As expected, this group of patients had a higher number of symptoms in both functions compared to those whose self-assessment was positive. This result is in line with the literature, indicating that voice (1,11,(14)(15)(16)(18)(19)(20)(21) and swallowing (1,4,(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(21)(22)(23) symptoms may be reported by patients referred for thyroidectomy. This is especially due to the compressive characteristics of thyroid disease, in addition to hormonal changes and impairment of laryngeal mobility or laryngotracheal complex (1,4) .…”

“…Thus, it is recommended that voice complaint be especially valued before thyroidectomy, as it may indicate the presence of multiple symptoms. Overall, the results of this study corroborate that patient perception seems to be an important measure in swallowing (8,12,15,17,(21)(22)(23) and voice (8,10,15,(19)(20)(21)(22)(23) assessment, as it can report subjective aspects not considered by the evaluator (17,19) . Based on the results, it can be inferred that swallowing and voice self-assessments should be considered in the care of patients referred for thyroidectomy, mainly because complaints in these two functions may appear concomitantly.…”

Purpose:To analyze the combined frequency of patient-reported swallowing and voice complaints before thyroidectomy. Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of 51 interviews of patients referred for partial or total thyroidectomy. The combined frequency of patient-reported swallowing and voice complaints was determined from the median of the total number of related symptoms in each group. We also investigated how patients rated each function (excellent, very good, good, fair, poor) and whether this rating was related to the number of symptoms and the combined frequency. For bivariate analysis, Pearson's chi-square test or Fisher's exact test and the nonparametric Mann-Whitney test were used. The level of significance was 5%. Results: The combined frequency of patient-reported swallowing and voice complaints before thyroidectomy was 31.4%. The most commonly swallowing-related symptoms were throat clearing after swallowing (39.3%), swallowing effort (37.2%), and choking (35.3%). The most commonly voice-related symptoms were dry throat (72.6%), throat clearing (72.5%), and itchy throat (47%). The total number of symptoms was significantly higher among those who rated swallowing (3.13 ± 2.21) and voice (5.91 ± 2.81) negatively. Negative self-assessment of the voice was associated with the combined frequency of patient-reported swallowing and voice complaints (p=0.003). Conclusion: The combined frequency of patient-reported swallowing and voice complaints before thyroidectomy occurs in one third of the patients and is associated with negative self-assessment of the voice.

“…Furthermore, there is significant variability in the methods employed, especially with regard to the most adequate period for performing the evaluations [8,13,27,28]. It is evident that, regardless of how long after surgery the postoperative evaluation occurs -2 h; 1 day; on the 7th, 12th, or 60th day; 1, 3, or 6 months; or 4 years [6,15,24,27,29,[30][31][32][33][34][35] -the presence of upper airway, vocal and/or swallowing sensory disorders is found, suggesting that this alteration is not directly related to the existence of complications due to intubation, although Peppard and Dickens (1983) [36] and Pereira et al (2003) [24] reported that swallowing function can be altered due to the modification of the sensitivity of the intraoral, pharyngeal, and laryngeal region resulting from intubation.…”

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

“…Pharyngolaryngeal symptoms are common after thyroidectomy (1)(2)(3)(4) and generally relate to the involvement of the recurrent or superior laryngeal nerve during surgery (1) . However, symptoms such as difficulties in swallowing and vocal changes can occur even in the apparent absence of nerve damage.…”

“…Compressive and vocal symptoms such as hoarseness, difficulty in swallowing, and pharyngeal globus also occur prior to surgery (1,(2)(3)(4)(5) due to hormonal disorders, enlarged thyroid gland, or the presence of benign or malignant nodules (1,3) .…”

RESUMO Objetivo: Traduzir e adaptar o questionário Thyroidectomy-Related Voice Questionaire (TVQ) para o português brasileiro. Método: o processo de tradução e adaptação transcultural foi dividido nas seguintes etapas: duas traduções independentes, síntese das traduções, análise por um comitê de especialistas, pré-teste, retradução, síntese final e versão final. O pré-teste foi realizado com 20 pacientes que se encontravam no período pré ou pós-operatório de tireoidectomia. A amostra foi caracterizada por meio de análise descritiva, e a concordância entre os especialistas foi calculada pelo Índice de Validade de Conteúdo por Item (IVC-I) e do questionário (IVC-Q). Resultados: ao longo das etapas do processo de tradução e adaptação, o instrumento necessitou de equivalências do tipo operacional, semântica, idiomática e sintática/gramatical, especialmente após avaliação dos especialistas e da população-alvo. Os IVC-I e IVC-Q foram, em sua maioria, aceitáveis. A retradução mostrou-se equivalente à versão original. A comparação entre as versões original, traduzida e retraduzida possibilitou a elaboração da versão final. Conclusão: o TVQ foi traduzido e adaptado para o português brasileiro, sendo considerado apto para as próximas etapas do processo de validação.
