However, these previous studies omitted voice\u2010related outcomes. We sought to compliment these previous data with voice\u2010related outcomes in a cohort of patients undergoing KTP ablation of vocal fold polyps.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Study Design<\/jats:title><jats:p>Retrospective outcomes study.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Voice Handicap Index (VHI)\u221210 and acoustic measures were reviewed for 31 consecutive patients with benign vocal fold polyps treated with in\u2010office KTP laser surgery.

At subsequent follow\u2010up visits, the VHI\u201010 scores remained stable (mean, 8.3).
