Healing process following laser cordectomy of early glottis carcinoma from endoscopic view

摘要

Background and ObjectiveTransoral laser surgery is useful for treating early glottic carcinoma. Wound areas after carbon dioxide (CO2) laser surgery are not covered by flaps, delaying healing. The healing process following laser cordectomy is not well understood. In this study, laryngoscopes were used to monitor the normal healing process after laser cordectomy and to determine if there was residual or recurrent disease.
