Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the surgery management of glottic carcinoma with high-frequency electrotome.
METHOD:Twenty cases of patients with glottic carcinoma were treated by cordectomy under micro-laryngoscopy with high-frequency electrotome.
RESULT:The 20 patients were followed up from 5 months to 6 years, retained good laryngeal function and structure: 1 case had local recurrences after 6 months, underwent total laryngectomy, and now no recurrence had been found: 19 cases (mild adhesions of vocal cords formed in 2 cases) had no local recurrence nor lymph node metastasis.
CONCLUSION:It is unnecessary to invest in expensive equipment in the cordectomy under micro-laryngoscopy with high frequency electrotome under general anesthesia and the result is satisfactory.
