摘要：
About 20% of trans men do not achieve cisgender male frequencies (F-0 <= 131 Hz) after gender-affirming hormone treatment (GAHT) with testosterone. The surgical procedure Isshiki thyroplasty type III (TPIII) is described to lower F-0, but data on this technique in trans men are lacking. In this study, 8 trans men, unsatisfied with their voice after a minimum of 12 months of GAHT, underwent TPIII to lower F(0)at the Department of Head and Neck Surgery at Ghent University Hospital. TPIII was performed by 1 surgeon using the same method each time. Pre- and postoperatively, an acoustic evaluation of the voice took place. The F(0)dropped significantly from the preoperative mean of (154.60 +/- 12.29) Hz to the postoperative mean of (105.37 +/- 10.52) Hz (t= 9.821,P< .001). TPIII is an effective method for lowering the F(0)in trans men who are not satisfied with their voice after long-term GAHT.
