AbstractAfter endotracheal intubation patients most frequently report pharyngolaryngeal complaints. Subsequent impairment of vocal performance might lead to general impairment of communication and job-related performance. Most prevalently, swollen mucosa, hematomas, granuloma and edema in the larynx can be observed after intubation. Limitations of respiratory vocal fold mobility appear less frequently. Knowledge of the pathophysiological aspects and causative factors associated with laryngopharyngeal morbidity are essential cornerstones of quality assurance in perioperative respiratory tract management. This review describes the effects of endotracheal intubation and application of larynx masks in relation to laryngeal morbidity.
