Communication of Voice‐Related Complications in Thyroidectomy: A Qualitative Analysis

The degree to which patients value voice-related outcomes differed based on their occupation and hobbies, but this was tempered by their cancer diagnosis. Further research is needed to identify optimal disclosure of voice-related risks and expectations.
