Typically, patients can resume speaking activities in 7–30 days following surgery, and singing activities 30–90 days post-surgery.Up to 20% of patients show scarring, polyps or vascular changes of the vocal folds following surgery. In severe cases, these resulting symptoms may require further surgery. The patient must always be aware of the impact and potential complications of surgery on their voice, especially if the voice is heavily used occupationally. In these cases, post-operative therapy should be discussed. See also

Signs of a gastrovascular infection include abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, vomiting, diarrhea, and weight loss. Many individuals with CVID have an impaired ability to absorb nutrients, including vitamins, proteins, minerals, fats, and sugar within the digestive tract.Due to changes in development in B cells, some individuals with CVID have accumulations of lymphocytes in lymphoid tissues. This can cause mild to severely swollen lymph nodes or inflammation of the spleen. In addition, a certain percentage of individuals with CVID are more susceptible to developing certain forms of cancer, more so than those without the condition. The two most common cancers in common variable immunodeficiency patients include lymphoma and certain stomach cancers. The risk for these given cancers is almost fifty times greater in common variable immunodeficiency patients than those without. People with common variable immunodeficiency have trouble fighting off infections due to the lack of antibodies produced which normally resist invading microbes. Due to impaired antibody development vaccines are not effective. Recurring bacterial infections are generally found in the upper and lower areas of the respiratory tract. Many who have a recurring lung infection, report developing, chronic lung diseases, and potentially life-threatening complications later in life. Causes
The cause of CVID is poorly understood. A likely cause are Deletions in genes that encode cell surface proteins and cytokine receptors, such as CD19, CD20, CD21, and CD80. Additionally, the disease is defined by T cell defects, namely reduced proliferative capacity. The condition is hard to diagnose, taking on average 6–7 years after onset. CVID is a primary immunodeficiency.
