Summary

Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment of hoarseness is known to improve quality of life and treatment outcomes. Therefore, appropriate research on the incidence of hoarseness after surgery is necessary. In this study, investigator aim to investigate incidence of hoarseness after spine surgery and the correlation between the Voice Handicap Index (VHI)-10, used as a criterion, and acoustic parameters, while also validating the efficacy of our research methods.

Detailed description

The primary outcome of this study is the incidence of hoarseness on the day of surgery. The secondary outcomes include the incidence of hoarseness at one month after surgery, as well as examining the correlation between acoustic parameters, risk factors, and the occurrence of hoarseness. Investigator conducted a comparative analysis of risk factor for hoarseness in patients with different VHI-10 scores on the day of surgery and 30 days after surgery.
