Application of endoscope assisted curved laryngoscope in laryngeal microsurgery of patients with difficulty laryngeal exposure

Abstract

Objective:To investigate the feasibility and clinical value of endoscope assisted curved laryngoscopy in laryngeal microsurgery of patients with difficulty laryngeal exposure. Method:The data of 28 patients with difficulty laryngeal exposure underwent microlaryngosurgery with endoscope assisted curved laryngoscopy technique were collected. Result:Surgeries with endoscope assisted curved laryngoscopy technique were completed successfully one-time in all patients. The fully exposure of glottis was 100%. All cases were followed up for 2 to 18 months. No residual disease or recurrence occurred and no obvious complication occurred. Conclusion:Endoscope assisted curved laryngoscopy technique is a useful solution to difficulty laryngeal exposure. It has satisfactory glottis exposure, clear surgical field and fewer complications which is worthy of promotion.
