A professional singer with laryngeal granuloma underwent surgery following failed response to conservative treatments. Two primary findings emerged. First, although a sizable lesion was present initially, presurgical voice measures were largely normal or superior. The exception was elevated phonatory effort during singing. Second, postsurgical voice functions were entirely normal or superior (including phonatory effort), despite demanding singing performances a few weeks following surgery. The results add to the limited corpus of quantitative, normative-referenced data on voice in patients with granulomas and are inconsistent with previous reports of voice abnormalities in such patients and poor functional response to surgery.
一名患有喉部肉芽肿的职业歌手在保守治疗无效后接受了手术。出现了两个主要发现。首先，尽管最初存在相当大的病变，但术前的嗓音测量结果大多正常或优于正常水平。唯一的例外是唱歌时发声用力增加。其次，尽管术后几周就进行了高要求的演唱表演，但术后嗓音功能完全正常或优于正常水平（包括发声用力）。这些结果增加了关于肉芽肿患者嗓音的有限的定量、基于规范参考的数据，并与之前关于此类患者嗓音异常以及手术功能反应不佳的报告不一致。
