Abstract

<strong>Objective</strong>: To study the nature of preoperative nursing care of a Laryngoscope facilitated vocal polyp excision procedure using general anesthesia. <strong>Methods</strong>: Clinical data from 238 cases of the aforementioned laryngoscope procedure from May 2012 to May 2014 in our hospital’s Otolaryngology department was collected. Psychological nursing was administered including preoperative preparation, postoperative monitoring, close observation of vital signs, post-operative nursing, diet, care, and also enhanced nursing skills such as discharge guidance. <strong>Results</strong>: 238 cases of vocal cord polyp patients were all completely cured and discharged, there was no postoperative infection and other complications. After reviewing the condition of the vocal cords, primarily if the sutures at the incision are fine, there is apparent improvement. <strong>Conclusion</strong>: The laryngoscope facilitated vocal polyp excision under general anesthesia procedure can deliver satisfying results when coupled with close patient observation and improved understanding of diseases by the preoperative nurses.
