Surgical treatment included TOLMS with tailored laser resection of the scar tissue combined with posterior cordotomy, resurfacing of the raw area with mucosal microflap, or placement of a Montgomery T-tube or Keel stent. All patients were evaluated and staged preoperatively and postoperatively, at least 6\u00a0months after the surgery. Functional outcomes were objectively evaluated by the Airway-Dysphonia-Voice-Swallowing (ADVS) staging system, Voice Handicap Index-30 (VHI-30), and Eating Assessment Tool-10 (EAT-10) questionnaires.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Quality of life significantly improved as measured by the VHI-30 questionnaire with a median variation of\u2009\u2212\u200931.0 (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.003), the EAT-10 with a median variation of\u2009\u2212\u20094.0 (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.042), and the ADVS with a median variation of\u2009\u2212\u20093.5 (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
