RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the efficacy and feasibility of radiofrequency resection of supraglottic laryngeal carcinoma under a multifunctional opener.Methods:The clinical data of four cases of supraglottic laryngeal carcinoma (type T1N1M0 in two cases, T2N1M0 in one case, and T1N0M0 in one case) who received treatment in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University during January-June 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Radiofrequency resection of supraglottic laryngeal carcinoma under a multi-functional opener combined with bilateral neck II-IV region lymph node dissection was performed. Swallowing, breathing and phonation were observed and analyzed based on references.Results:Among the four cases, two cases had a normal diet at 3 days after surgery, one case had a normal diet at 7 days after surgery, and one case had a normal diet at 16 days after surgery. Tracheotomy was not performed in any case. After surgery, breathing and speech communication were not affected.Conclusion:Radiofrequency surgery under a multifunctional opener can be used for treatment of early supraglottic laryngeal cancer. It is an effective treatment with minimal trauma, mild postoperative pain and promotes the early recovery of normal swallowing function.
