PURPOSE: After surgery of vocal folds, almost every patient will need some voice rest. It is common to recommend total silence for some days, followed by less restricted voice use for variable periods. By now, we do not know how voice rest affects the healing process or the current practise in Europe.
METHODS: Members of the European Laryngological Society (2012) and the Union of European Phoniatrics (2018) were sent a web-based questionnaire which included two patient cases with a short history and a still picture. The respondents were asked about the postoperative recommendation of absolute voice rest and sick leave.
RESULTS: Over 90% of the respondents would recommend absolute voice rest after removing a polyp or after mucosal repair of Reinke's oedema. For both cases, the mean length of recommended absolute voice rest among UEP members was 4 days (range 0-10 days) and among ELS members was 5 days (range 0-14 days). The recommended sick leave ranged from 0 to 35 days. The mean figures suggested by ELS members for the receptionist with Reinke's oedema were 12 days and for the teacher with a polyp 13 days. On average, UEP members recommended 14 days of sick leave for both cases.
CONCLUSION: The present scientific evidence is scant, but does not support for prolonged (over 3 days) absolute voice rest after simple phonosurgery. So far, there are no studies that could show absolute voice rest to be superior over relative voice rest. According to the present survey, there is considerable variation in recommending voice rest and sick leave after the removal of benign mucosal lesions. Many European laryngologists suggest voice rest that is longer and stricter than the present scientific literature supports.
