“…Operative trauma to the RLNthe most feared complication of thyroidectomy-occurs in 2-13% of patients, which in turn could lead to vocal cord paralysis and hoarseness of voice. Further, changes in voice characteristics have also been documented in the absence of laryngeal nerve injury with as many as 30% of the patients suffering from early and 14% suffering from lasting functional voice changes [1,7,11,12]. This has been attributed to other mechanical factors (strap muscle division or laryngotracheal fixation, surgical trauma to the cricothyroid muscle or cricoarytenoid joint, endotracheal intubation, etc.)…”

“…The present study indicates the existence of controversial items (5,(7)(8)(13)(14)(15)(16) that are raised as valid by some practitioners and as irrelevant by others. These items should be considered with caution and should, therefore, be further investigated on their need or not to be included on a protocol as PAN.…”

“…The inability to undergo discrete positional adjustments of the cervical spine vertebrae may be a factor that contributes to singing impairment, a rare but important complication reported subsequent to cervical spine discectomy and fusion procedures [25]. Furthermore, voice professionals such as opera singers are particularly vulnerable to transient performance reductions subsequent to extended surgery, leading to a reduction in the highest pitch and consequently a reduced range of the singing voice [12].…”

“…Many of the problems reported with the voice subsequent to surgery relate to the singing voice rather than the speaking voice [12]. However, more information is needed on healthy participants regarding the physical interactions between the cervical spine and the surrounding structures associated with the singing voice in order to better understand the subtle factors impacting on the voice when in this mode.…”
