OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to assess sexual function, @entity1316 and self esteem in @entity1 who were surgically treated for @entity5 . DESIGN: Retrospective, blind, cross sectional study. SETTING: Single tertiary @entity5 center. @entity1 : 4 @entity1 who were operated on Istanbul University Cerrahpasa School of Medicine Otorhinolaryngology Department between 2008 and 2012 were classified according to the type of the operation as total laryngectomy (Group 1) and partial laryngectomy (Group 2). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: @entity250 , @entity308 and self esteem were evaluated with The Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale (ASEX), Beck's @entity308 Inventory (BDI) and @entity2653 ( @entity2653 ) respectively. RESULTS: Average ASEX scores of the group 1 was (13,98    6,32) and group 2 was (13,08    4,96) without statistically significant difference (p=0,537). Mean BDI score of group 1 was (13,20    10,41) higher than group 2 (7,76    8,14) and the difference was significant statistically (p=0,026). Mean @entity2653 scores of group 1 and group 2 were 20,68    5,33 and 19,25    4,70 respectively again without significant difference (p=0,262). However, when the average scores of each item of Rosenberg Scale were compared, significant difference was found in d4 (2,37    0,78; 1,64    0,99; p=0,001), d6 (1,22    1,05; 1,84    1,14; p=0,023), d10 (2,55    2,39; 1,28    1,49; p=0,018) and d11 (1,35    0,95; 2,00    1,41; p=0,021). BDI scores were correlated with @entity2653 scores and ASEX scores were correlated with age. CONCLUSION: The @entity1 with total laryngectomy seem to have more psychological problems that must be addressed in the postoperative period. This article is protected by copyright.
