Abstract
Objectives
The aim of this study was to carry out a systematic review of different surgical and nonsurgical lines of treatment of Reinke's edema to identify the effectiveness and the guidelines described to use each of them.
Methods
We searched PubMed and Coherence for randomized controlled trials and case reports studies did on adult humans aged from 18 to 80 years, from January 1997 to December 2018. We included studies that treated patients with Reinke's edema by one and/or combinations of the following interventions: cold steel microlaryngeal phonosurgery, microdebrider, CO2 laser, photoangiolytic laser, voice therapy, Steroid and Hyaluronidase injection. We selected studies that assessed patients pre- and post-treatment by at least one of the following measures: subjective assessment of the patient's voice by the voice handicap index, perceptual analysis of the voice by GRBAS scale, video laryngeoscopic examination of the VFs and the lesion, aerodynamic measures, and acoustic analysis of the voice by the computerized speech lab. We assessed quality of the included studies with the Cochrane risk of bias assessment Tool.
Results
After removal of duplicates, research yielded 262 studies. Of 217 abstracts and titles, 36 full-text articles were read, and one study was added through hand search, resulting in 10 included studies.
Conclusions
Most of literature analyzed were deficient to address the effectiveness of any of the six lines included in this study. This is mainly due to the small number of the included articles and the small sample size in most of these studies. We found only 10 articles that reported the effectiveness based on comparing the results of before and after treatment. In addition, the variability of outcome measures used and the lack of the comprehensive assessment of the patient's voice, vocal image in most of the included studies made it hard to us to compare the results of any of the included studies. More researches with larger sample size and accurate randomization are needed for further accurate assessment of the effectiveness of the surgical and nonsurgical lines of treatment of Reinke's edema. The future researches should take in their consideration the use of an agreed comprehensive assessment protocol for assessing and comparing the outcome measures before and after treatment.
