Patients with vocal fold paralysis have a significantly better voice after Gore-Tex® thyroplasty by self-report (VRQOL) and assessment by trained voice professionals (GRBAS). Having IL prior to surgery does not adversely affect later surgical outcomes. This paper represents one of the largest analyses of voice quality outcomes of Gore-Tex® thyroplasty using validated patient scales and randomized blinded analyses.
