Non‐Neural Post‐Thyroidectomy Dysphonia: Long‐Term Voice Outcomes in 527 Patients
Voice changes may occur even when the recurrent laryngeal nerve and the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve are preserved during thyroidectomy. Although most alterations improve over time, some voice parameters may not fully recover, with outcomes influenced by sex, age, surgical extent, and F0<sub>pre</sub>. These findings may aid in counseling patients with non-neural PTD.
