The functional recovery test, the various criteria of which are analyzed, to which 420 patients were subjected, makes it possible to record, for the 123 complete files, the regular evolution of the progress of each patient over a period of 12 months and beyond, which is stimulating and leads us to propose a more systematic handling of such operated patients by the team of phoniatricians and speech therapists.
