RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of the self-retaining laryngeal microsurgical operation in the treatment of Reinke ’ s edema of vocal cords . Methods There were 24 cases of Reinke ’ s edema who were treated with self-retaining laryngoscope mucosal stripping surgery of vocal cords from January 2004 to December 2009 ( traditional group ) , while another group of 32 cases of Reinke ’ s edema were treated with self-retaining laryngoscopic microsurgery lateral submucosal incision micro-flap operation of vocal cords from January 2010 to December 2015 ( laryngeal microsurgery group ) .The two groups were executed with electronic laryngoscopy and subjective voice evaluation GRBAS ( The Speech and Language Institute of Japanese in 1979, G: Grade, R:Roughness, B:Breathness, A:Asthenia, S:Strain) in pre-operation and post-operation (1 week, 3 weeks, 8 weeks).The wound healing time of vocal cords , hoarseness improved time and voice improvement were retrospectively compared between the two groups . Results The patients in laryngeal microsurgery group had earlier voice hoarse improvement and more rapid mucosal epithelial of vocal cords recovery time in post-operation as compared with the patients in the traditional group [voice improving time, (7.3 ±1.9) d vs. (11.3 ±2.7) d, t=-6.481, P=0.000;mucosal epithelial of vocal cords recovery time , (12.2 ±3.1) d vs.(20.1 ±3.4) d, t=-9.062, P=0.000].The results of pre-operative voice evaluation with GRBAS showed no significant differences between the two groups, but the results of post-operative evaluation of each session (1 week, 3 weeks, 8 weeks) showed that the main data were statistically different.The GRBAS score of laryngeal microsurgery group was lower than that of traditional group in post -operation, especially after 8 weeks (8 weeks after post-operation, G:1.0 ±0.8 vs.1.6 ±0.2, t=-3.584, P=0.000; R:1.0 ±0.9 vs. 1.5 ±0.4, t=-2.536, P=0.014;B:1.0 ±0.6 vs.1.4 ±0.5, t=-2.647, P=0.011).In laryngeal microsurgery group, 24 cases were cured , 5 cases were effective and 3 cases were invalid , contrasting in the traditional group with 11 cases of cured , 7 cases of effective and 6 cases of invalid respectively, with a significant difference (Z=-2.239, P=0.025).No significant difference in effective rate between the two groups [90.6%(29/32) vs.75.0%(18/24),χ2 =1.459, P=0.227]. Conclusion The clinical efficacy of self-retaining laryngoscope microsurgery in the treatment of Reinke ’ s edema of vocal cords is faster and better comparing traditional operation , with a more significant pronunciation quality improvement .
RESUMEN
Objective To study the curative effects and characteristics of vocal cord shallow lamina propria resection on the treatment of vocal cord leukoplakia .Methods A total of cases of vocal cord leukoplakia were re-ceived vocal cord mucosa stripping surgery (69 cases) and vocal superficial lamina propria resection with or without suture (69 cases) respectively during January 2006 - December 2011 ,and all cases were taken dynamic laryngosco-py and voice acoustic analysis before surgery ,at 2 weeks ,4 weeks ,6 weeks ,8 weeks ,3 months ,6 months ,and 12 months after surgery .We observed the curative effects and characteristics after operation of two different surgery on the treatment of vocal cord leukoplakia with precancerous lesions .Results Two week after operation ,the vocal cords mucous wave ,vocal cords vibration symmetry ,regularity ,total hoarseness degree (G) ,Jitter ,Shimmer , NHRvaluesinthe2groupsweresignificantlylowerthanthoseofpreoperation(P0 .05) .The three main index of dynamic laryngoscope ,voice acoustic parameters at 4 weeks after operation were significantly lower than those at 2 weeks after operation in the vocal cord mucosa stripping surgery group ,the difference were statistically significant (P0 .05) .The three main index of dynamic laryngoscope ,voice acoustic parameters at 6 weeks after operation were significantly lower than those at 2 ,4 weeks after operation in the vocal cord shallow lamina propria resection group ,the difference were statistically significant (P0 .05) .The voice restoration was faster in the vocal cord mucosa stripping surgery group .The recurrence rate was lower in the vocal cord shallow lamina propria resection group than those in the traditional vocal cord mucosa stripping surgery group ,the difference was statistically significant (P<0 .05) . Conclusion The vocal cord shallow lamina propria resection is a minimally invasive operation for the treatment of vocal cord leukoplakia ,with low recurrence rate and good the voice recovery .
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: This study was designed to test the hypothesis that a combined femoral and politeal sciatic nerve blocks (FPSNB) would have excellent clinical properties and better patient satisfaction than epidural anesthesia for the great saphenous veins stripping (GSVS) surgery with multiple stab avulsion (MSA). METHODS: Sixty patients were allocated into two groups. The epidural group received epidural anesthesia with 15 ml of 0.75% ropivacaine (n = 30), and the FPSNB group received a combined FPSNB with 25 ml of 1.5% mepivacaine with a nerve stimulator (n = 30). We assessed the anesthetic and postoperative records. A questionnaire-based study including patient satisfaction for anesthetic techniques (100 point scale) was conducted 3 days postoperatively by a blinded observer. RESULTS: The time from initial injection to the start of surgery and the duration of sensory blockade were not different between groups (P > 0.05). The percentage of patients with anesthesia-related complications in epidural anesthesia was 33.3%, 46.6%, 23.3% and 20% for shivering, hypotension, bradycardia and postoperative voiding difficulty, respectively. FPSNB did not produce these complications. Additional analgesia with 50-100 microgram of fentanyl was more frequently used in FPSNB (60% vs 6.7%, FPSNB vs Epidural group, P < 0.01), but patient satisfaction of FPSNB was higher than epidural anesthesia (88.1 +/- 13.2 vs 76.5 +/- 15.8, FPSNB vs Epidural group, P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: A combined FPSNB with a small amount of narcotics is an adequate anesthetic technique for unilateral GSVS surgery with MSA.
