Abstract
Objective. Vocal changes are frequent following a surgical procedure to the thyroid gland. Even though they are a recognized morbidity, their bases are yet to be defined as well as their effect on vocal parameters. This study investigates the objective and subjective changes that occur after the surgery. Study design. This study is a prospective analysis of consecutive cases. Setting. This study was conducted in a single-center tertiary care facility.
