Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Endoscopic Procedures

Background:

  • Anterior glottic lesions can be challenging to access with conventional suspension microlaryngoscopy due to patient anatomy.
  • Existing surgical techniques often require general anesthesia, posing potential risks and limitations.

Observation:

  • This study reports on two cases of anterior glottic lesions that were inaccessible via traditional laryngoscopy.
  • A flexible videobronchoscope was used for transnasal endoscopic surgery under topical anesthesia on an outpatient basis.

Findings:

  • Successful removal of anterior glottic polyps was achieved in both patients.
  • One-year follow-up confirmed normal vocal fold anatomy and function in all treated individuals.

Implications:

  • Flexible videoendoscopic surgery under topical anesthesia presents a safe, simple, and minimally invasive option for managing inaccessible anterior glottic lesions.
  • This technique may serve as a valuable alternative to conventional endoscopic surgery, potentially improving patient outcomes and reducing procedural burdens.
