Abstract: Objective To compare the curative effects between radiofrequency coblation and CO2 Laser in treat-ment of vocal leukoplakia. Methods Clinical data of 29 patients with vocal leukoplakia were retrospectively ana-lyzed. 14 of them were using radiofrequency ablation, the other 15 were using CO2 laser as treatment. Then compare the postoperative pain, postoperative wound healing, the first operation control rate of local recurrence between the two groups. Results Postoperative pain between the two groups has no statistically significance. The mucosal recov-ery of radiofrequency group in 1 month after surgery was better than CO2 laser group. In radiofrequency group, 5 cases suffered recurrence, the recurrence rate was 35.71%; In CO2 laser group, only 1 case suffered recurrence, the recurrence rate was 6.67%. Conclusions Laser and radiofrequency ablation were minimally invasive treatment for vocal cord leukoplakia, while CO2 laser as treatment has lower recurrence rate.
