Article Synopsis
- The study compares two surgical techniques for feminizing the voice in transgender women: Wendler glottoplasty (GP) and vocal fold shortening with retrodisplacement of the anterior commissure (VFSRAC) combined with laser-assisted voice adjustment (LAVA).
- A total of 22 transgender women, aged 20-62, were evaluated before and six months after surgery using laryngostroboscopy, fundamental frequency measurements, and voice assessments.
- Results showed significant increases in vocal pitch post-surgery, with VFSRAC+LAVA yielding greater improvements in vocal frequency and voice quality compared to GP, suggesting VFSRAC+LAVA is the more effective option for voice feminization.
