Synechieprophylaxe und -therapie nach Laserresektion von Kehlkopftumoren

Abstract
Laser resection of vocal cord carcinomas often requires the extirpation of the ventral commissure and exposure of the thyroid cartilage to ensure complete excision of the tumour. The appearance of synechia near the commissure is a frequent complication of such operations. Even intensive conservative postoperative treatment does not effectively combat this complication. A newly developed operative technique is presented for the prevention and/or treatment of such synechia or granulation after endolaryngeal laser surgery. The method is also documented photographically.
