University Ghent
290 participants

INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The purpose of this study is to measure the short- and long-term voice outcome and outcome predictors of glottoplasty, cricothyroid approximation, thyroplasty, and chondrolaryngoplasty using a prospective non-randomized controlled trial and a multidimensional voice assessment protocol. Secondly, a laryngeal magnetic resonance imaging protocol will be developed to measure pre- and postoperative anatomical factors and compare them with the acoustic changes.

Interventions
Gender-affirming voice surgery (such as glottoplasty, cricothyroid approximation, thyroplasty and chondrolaryngoplasty), in addition to gender-affirming voice training and hormone therapy, plays an important role in achieving a gender-congruent voice in transgender and gender diverse people. In addition, these interventions are sometimes performed on cisgender men or women who wish to change their voice. However, the impact of these interventions on broad voice characteristics needs to be further investigated.
