The objective of this study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of laser marsupialization of epiglottic cysts via a transoral route.
A prospective clinical series.
Twenty-eight consecutive patients with epiglottic cyst underwent laser marsupialization of an epiglottic cyst via a transoral approach. Pre- and postoperative laryngoscopic examinations were carried out.
A total of 28 patients were enrolled, including 19 males and 9 females, ranging in age from 38 to 69 years, with a mean age of 54 years. Among these patients, 23 had a lumpy throat, and the remaining 5 had a voice alternation. The diameters of the cysts ranged from 1 to 3 cm. No perioperative bleeding or airway swelling was noted in any patient. The postoperative follow-up period ranged from 4 to 41 (mean, 16) months. No recurrence was found during the follow-up examinations.
Transoral laser marsupialization is a simple, safe, and effective method for treatment of epiglottic cysts. This procedure has the potential to serve as the treatment of choice in the management of this condition.
本研究旨在探讨经口途径行会厌囊肿激光造袋术的安全性和有效性。
前瞻性临床系列研究。
28例连续性会厌囊肿患者经口途径行会厌囊肿激光造袋术。术前行喉镜检查，术后复查喉镜。
共纳入28例患者，其中男性19例，女性9例，年龄38～69岁，平均年龄54岁。这些患者中，23例有咽部异物感，其余5例有声嘶。囊肿直径1～3cm。所有患者均未出现围手术期出血或气道肿胀。术后随访4～41（平均16）个月。随访期间未发现复发。
经口激光造袋术是治疗会厌囊肿的一种简单、安全、有效的方法。该手术有可能成为治疗此病的首选方法。
