RESUMO
Objective To compare the efficacy of CO2 laser and conventional laryngeal microsurgery in the treatment of benign lesions of vocal cord (polyp of vocal cord) and precancerous lesions (leukoplakia of vocal cord) of patients. Methods A total of 60 patients with vocal cord polyps were selected, and randomly divided into two groups, each with 30 patients. Thirty patients with vocal cord leukoplakia were selected and randomly divided into two groups, each with 15 patients. One group was performed by cold instruments for lesion resection (conventional group), the other by CO2 laser for removal of diseased tissue or mucosal ablative surgery (laser group). Two groups of patients were examined by laryngostroboscope, electronic laryngoscopy, GRABS, VHI subjective ratings and objective voice analysis before operation and one week, one month and three months after operation. ResuIts The outcomes of those with vocal cord polyps in early recovery (1 week) laser group were slightly worse than the conventional group. In later recovery (1~3 months), with electronic laryngoscopy inspection, laryngostroboscope mucosal wave observation, the analysis of subjective and objective data from the two groups showed no significantly differences. For patients with vocal cord leukoplakia in early recovery (1 week), laser group slightly worse than the conventional group, in later recovery (1~3 months), there were no obvious difference between the two groups in electronic laryngoscopy inspection, laryngostroboscope mucosal wave observation, the analysis of subjective and ob_jective data. Follow -up operations, the recurrence rates in laser group was significantly lower than conventional group. ConcIusion The treatment by CO2 laser can significantly improve their pronunciation quality for vocal cord polyps and vocal cord leukoplakia patients, it has a good therapeutic effect, especially the long-term effective of vo_cal cord leukoplakia is better than conventional operation.
RESUMO
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 .
