Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To compare the effectiveness of vocal cord cyst excision with electronic laryngoscope (EL) and self-retaining laryngoscope (SRM).
METHOD:Nightly-two patients, diagnosed as vocal cord cyst with strobolaryngoscope or electronic laryngoscope, were randomly divided into two groups. One group was 48 cases treated with electronic laryngoscope and another group was 44 cases treated with self-retaining laryngoscope. Electronic laryngoscopy examination and voice function assessments were performed to all patients, preoperatively and postoperatively at one week, three months and six months.
RESULT:One failed cases under SRM, difficult exposure of glottic portion, were treated under EL. The recurrence rate of the two groups was of no statistical significance in three months after operation. Voice function assessment of the two groups was of no statistical significance at one week, three months and six months after operation.
CONCLUSION:The operation under electronic laryngoscope is a minimal invasive procedure to the laryngeal mucosa. Electronic laryngoscope had advantages such as clear view, accurate operation. Furthermore, it can be used for those that could not be treated under self-retaining laryngoscope.
