Abstract

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of CO2 laser combined with low-temperature plasma radiofrequency ablation on the early glottic laryngeal carcinoma. Methods70 patients with early glottic laryngeal carcinoma were enrolled in this retrospective study. The patients (40 cases) in the control group were treated by CO2 laser. The patients in the combination group (30 cases) were treated by CO2 laser combined with low-temperature plasma radiofrequency ablation. ResultsThe postoperative recurrence rate in the combination group was notably decreased than the control group (P < 0.05). There were 2 patients with postoperative bleeding, 3 with vocal cord adhesion, and one with dyspnea in the combination group. Similarly, there were 3 patients with postoperative bleeding, 5 with vocal cord adhesion, and 1 with dyspnea in the control group. ConclusionCO2 laser combined with low-temperature plasma radiofrequency ablation has a low postoperative recurrence rate in the treatment of the early glottic laryngeal carcinoma.
