This study presents a case series of patients undergoing mWG at a single institution to identify factors associated with trends in post\u2010operative follow\u2010up.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Retrospective review of trans women patients who underwent mWG between March 2018 and July 2023 was performed. Demographic data, pre\u2010operative care, and post\u2010operative course were reviewed. Lost to follow\u2010up (LTFU) was defined as a failure to return to the office or schedule a follow\u2010up appointment as recommended, for \u22652\u2009months after last visit. Logistic regressions were utilized to identify possible factors associated with being LTFU.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Eight (50%) of 16 patients met LTFU criteria. Patients were considered not LTFU if they completed care (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20093, 19%) or were still undergoing care (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20095, 31%). Patients with chronic diseases were less likely to become LTFU (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.03). Those lost to follow\u2010up had more no\u2010show visits (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.04). Total number of gender\u2010affirming surgeries, distance from hospital, socioeconomic status of residential zip code, race\/ethnicity, other psychological history, and patient\u2010reported outcome measure scores did not affect LTFU rates.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Fifty percent of patients were LTFU after modified Wendler glottoplasty. Even one no\u2010show visit increased risk of being LTFU, whereas the presence of chronic diseases was protective against this. This study illustrates that increased efforts are needed following mWG to better understand the factors associated with being LTFU and to facilitate patients' ability to complete post\u2010operative care successfully.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Level of Evidence<\/jats:title><jats:p>4 <jats:italic>Laryngoscope<\/jats:italic>, 135:1431\u20131437, 2025<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.31863","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,6]],"date-time":"2024-11-06T13:13:59Z","timestamp":1730898839000},"page":"1431-1437","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Follow\u2010up Trends in Patients Undergoing Modified Wendler Glottoplasty"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"135","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2792-783X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ian D.","family":"Bowers","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Laryngology, Department of Otolaryngology\u2010Head and Neck Surgery, UCSF Voice and Swallow Center University of California San Francisco  San Francisco California U.S.A."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1758-3276","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yue","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Laryngology, Department of Otolaryngology\u2010Head and Neck Surgery, UCSF Voice and Swallow Center University of California San Francisco  San Francisco California U.S.A."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7070-1342","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tyler W.","family":"Crosby","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Laryngology, Department of Otolaryngology\u2010Head and Neck Surgery, UCSF Voice and Swallow Center University of California San Francisco  San Francisco California U.S.A."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1571-1086","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Clark A.","family":"Rosen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Laryngology, Department of Otolaryngology\u2010Head and Neck Surgery, UCSF Voice and Swallow Center University of California San Francisco  San Francisco California U.S.A."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"suffix":"Jr.","given":"Steven D.","family":"Stockton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Stockton Scientific Services  Glastonbury Connecticut U.S.A."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sarah L.","family":"Schneider","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Laryngology, Department of Otolaryngology\u2010Head and Neck Surgery, UCSF Voice and Swallow Center University of California San Francisco  San Francisco California U.S.A."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3095-8290","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"VyVy N.","family":"Young","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Laryngology, Department of Otolaryngology\u2010Head and Neck Surgery, UCSF Voice and Swallow Center University of California San Francisco  San Francisco California U.S.A."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","unstructured":"HermanJL FloresAR O'neillKK.How many adults and youth identify as transgender in the United States?2022."},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/lgbt.2020.0464"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/trgh.2019.0009"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamanetworkopen.2022.0978"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jadohealth.2021.10.036"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otc.2019.03.007"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/15532739.2015.1075931"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.30543"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","unstructured":"WendlerJ.Vocal pitch elevation after transsexualism male to female.
