Abstract

Objectives: We evaluated psychological symptoms of patients who underwent partial or total laryngecto- my for larynx cancer.Patients and Methods: The study included 63patients who undervvent total n=41 or partial n=22 laryngectomy. The control group consisted of 20 healthy individuals with similar gender, age, and sociocultural characteristics. During the postopera- tive follow-up, the psychological symptom distribu- tion of the patients was assessed with the Symptom Check-List-90-Revised SCL-90-R .Results: The SCL-90-R inventory was administered at a mean of 20.6 months range 10 to 86 months post- operatively. Patients with total laryngectomy had signifi- cantly higher scores than the Controls in the subscales of interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anger-hostility, phobic anxiety, and global symptom index p<0.05 .Partial laryngectomy patients exhibited lower scores than total laryngectomy patients, and higher scores than the control group. The only significant difference between partial laryngectomy patients and the control group was in the subscale of anger-hostility p<0.05 .Conclusion: Patients with laryngeal cancer should be given postoperative psychological support to min­ imize adverse effects of total or partial laryngectomy.
