Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Laryngeal Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Phonomicrosurgery evolved from early endolaryngeal surgery, representing a key advancement in minimally invasive interventions.
  • The development of laryngology as a specialty is closely linked to progress in endoscopic laryngeal surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the evolution and principles of phonomicrosurgery.
  • To highlight the importance of preserving vocal fold microstructure for optimal vocal outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Review of historical development of endolaryngeal surgery.
  • Focus on physiologic principles of vocal fold oscillation.
  • Emphasis on preserving the layered microstructure of the vocal fold (epithelium and lamina propria).

Main Results:

  • Phonomicrosurgery techniques developed in the late 20th century.
  • These techniques aim to enhance vocal outcomes by understanding vocal fold oscillation.
  • Maximal preservation of vocal fold layered microstructure is a key anatomic premise.

Conclusions:

  • Phonomicrosurgery is an important advancement in laryngeal surgery.
  • Dependable voice production is essential in contemporary communication-based society.
  • The techniques underscore the significance of preserving vocal fold integrity.
