The advent of transoral microlaryngoscopic laser surgery is making a significant impact on treatment decisions in the management of early squamous cancers of the larynx and the hypopharynx. It has, to a great extent replaced the conventional open partial laryngectomy procedures. Moreover many cancers of the larynx or the hypopharynx that were earlier being treated with radiation therapy are now resected transorally with the CO(2) laser. This article focuses on the progress of transoral laser microsurgery in the management of early larygopharyngeal cancers.
经口显微喉镜激光手术的出现对早期喉和下咽鳞状细胞癌的治疗决策产生了重大影响。在很大程度上,它已取代了传统的开放性部分喉切除术。此外,许多以前接受放射治疗的喉或下咽癌现在都通过二氧化碳激光经口切除。本文重点介绍经口激光显微手术在早期喉咽癌治疗中的进展。
