چکیده

BACKGROUND The effectiveness of transoral microsurgery for early-stage glottic cancer relies on the possibility to obtain adequate exposure of the lesion. The purpose of this study was to design a new surgical technique allowing efficient endoscopic removal of these tumors in patients with unsatisfactory transoral exposure. METHODS A minimal invasive access to the glottis, made through the thyrohyoid membrane and the preepiglottic space, was used for endoscopic resection of an early-stage glottic tumor in a patient with a medical history of previous radiotherapy and unsatisfactory endoscopic exposure of the lesion. RESULTS This approach provided excellent exposure of the glottis and allowed endoscopic resection with adequate surgical margins. The surgical procedure and the postoperative period were uneventful. Functional outcomes were back to baseline after 1 month. CONCLUSION This technique represents an attractive solution for patients presenting with early-stage glottic tumors that cannot be exposed transorally and have contraindications to alternative therapeutic procedures. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

This study aims to define indications for micro-endoscopic laser surgery in early glottic carcinoma (Tis, T1a and T1b), to examine patterns of local recurrences and related retreatment methods. A cohort of 79 patients with previously untreated early glottic carcinoma, subjected to endoscopic CO2 laser excision between January 1993 and October 2000, was retrospectively examined. Patients include...
