Abstract: OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy of coblation for early glottic cancer. METHODS Twenty-two patients with early glottic carcinoma (Tis-T2) without lymph node metastasis accepted resection of laryngeal cancer lesions using transoral endoscopic coblation,without pre-operative or post-operative radiotherapy and chemotherapy. All the patients were followed up for 30 to 70 months. RESULTS No severe complications such as dyspnea and bleeding occurred in these cases.Only mild postoperative pain happened to the patients.All patients could swallow and speak after operation. No recurrence occurred in 21 cases till now. One case, with poorly differentiated squarnous cell lesion in the anterior commissure invading subglottic area, recurred 4 months after operation. Salvage partial laryngectomy was performed and no recurrence was found after salvage operation. CONCLUSION The result suggests that transoral endoscopic coblation is a good method for early glottic cancer. It is worth popularizing.
