Abstract

A transgender woman underwent anterior (Wendler) glottoplasty and was followed for 1-year. We found desired pitch improvements, but also undesired changes to intensity, vocal efficiency, laryngeal vibratory kinematics, and vocal effort. This case highlights the importance of considering multimodal assessment in clinical follow-up and outcome analysis for these patients.
