|
Transoral CO2 Laser Microsurgery of glottic Carcinoma is replacing external approaches. The qualify of life after surgery for laryngeal cancer may be as important as complete resection of the tumor for patient. Transoral CO2 laser cordectomy for the management of early laryngeal cancer has advantages with regard to oncological results, preservation of laryngeal functions, morbidity and cost in comparison to those of open surgery or radiation therapy. Moreover, transoral laser surgery can be a useful choice as a salvage surgery in radiation therapy failed early glottic cancer. A classification of laryngeal endoscopic cordectomies which included eight different types was described by the European laryngological Society in 2000. We will also introduce type VI which was newly proposed recently.
