AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Based on results in 48 cases, the principal indications and the place of laser in the repermeabilization of the glottic tract are discussed. Results on the cord adhesions were fair, whereas they were more constant with respect to regain of function in stenosis, paralysis and laryngeal edema. Laser can be used as single therapy by the endoscopic route for ankylosis or diplegia of the larynx, but should also act as a complement to a surgical or radiotherapeutic action.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFLaryngeal microsurgery has been performed using a CO2 laser since 1978. It is essential to conduct a strict phoniatric pre-operative examination and to ensure correct anesthesia. Results after 735 operations underline the advantages of this technique for the treatment of benign laryngeal lesions (diffuse papillomatosis, sessile polyps, granuloma), in phonosurgery (nodules, bundle edema, corditis) and in the repermeabilization of the laryngeal network (paralysis, stenosis, laryngeal edema).
