Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol 2007; 71:1261-1269. This article examines the acoustic, endoscopic, and perceptual differences by source of vibration in children after airway reconstruction. Important methodological attention to rater reliability and concerns regarding accurate acoustic analysis of dysphonic voice signals are included. New observations regarding supraglottic phonation are mentioned.

This investigation is the first to include formal aerodynamic assessment of children after airway reconstruction. Implications for anatomic changes leading to increases in vocal effort during voicing are discussed.
