Abstract

The cure rates for early stage laryngeal cancer are similar between laser cordectomy and radiation therapy. As well as the survival outcome, one of the main measures of success in treatment of early laryngeal cancer is voice outcome. Many studies have demonstrated that laser cordectomy and radiation therapy to be equivalent with regard to vocal outcome, whereas others favor radiation. Although such as somewhat disadvantages of voice outcome, laser cordectomy still remains a valid option. Since the patients who treated with laser may benefit from additional phonosurgery to improve postoperative vocal outcome. In this article, we reviewed the techniques of phonosurgery which can be used for laryngeal reconstruction after laser cordectomy. The indications for using each technique are discussed, with particular attention paid to functional outcomes following these reconstructive efforts.
