[The voice function after horizontal laryngectomy].

Voice quality was assessed in 37 patients with cancer of the larynx before and after supraglottic surgery. Subjective and objective spectrography method were applied to evaluate dysphony. A change of the voice colour was found, which was manifested in spectrography by decrease of formant levels, specially F3 and F4. Dysphagia and longer tracheostomy were temporary complications after the surgery, and caused later beginning of phoniatric rehabilitation.

[Voice function after chordectomy in patients with larynx carcinoma].

The quality of voice was examined in 18 patients with larynx carcinoma before and after chordectomy. Subjective and objective (spectrographic) methods were applied. The larynx was examined in indirect laryngoscopy and videostroboscopy. Significant voice pathology was found in patients before surgery when compared with norm. Early phoniatric rehabilitation helped to achieve subjective improvement of voice quality in patients after surgery.

[Voice function in patients after partial laryngectomy].

103 patients with cancer of the larynx treated with partial laryngectomy were presented. Voice quality before and after surgery was compared. Voice was analysed by subjective and objective-spectrographic methods. Partial laryngectomies consisted of: vertical, horizontal and supraglottic subtotal procedures. The least dysphony was found in horizontal laryngectomy, the biggest--in supraglottic subtotal laryngectomy.

[Voice pathology in patients with allergic rhinitis].

The aim of work was evaluation of voice pathology in patients with allergic rhinitis. Larynx organic pathology were found in 75% patients with coexisting allergic rhinitis in the form of Reinke's oedema, chronic hypertrophic laryngitis, larynx polyp and vocal nodules. It caused serious voice pathology (dysphonia) which was confirmed by an objective spectrographic method. Larynx organic pathology was not in 15% patients. In these cases rhinophonia was found in consequence of resonance nasal defect.
