Objective:
To analyze the factors affecting on the surgery of polyp of vocal cord so as to enhance the success rate of surgery and improve the treatment effect.
Method:
Two thousands seven hundreds and ninety-two cases with polyp of vocal cord were summarized retrospectively according to the types of surgery they received. The factors affecting on the three kinds of surgery were analyzed which including the differences of patients, the types of polyp, the skill of surgeons, the instrument and the anaesthesia.
Result:
The unsuccessful rates in group A, group B and group C were 6.46%, 4.12% and 1.53% respectively. The occurrence rates of complications in three groups were 0.19%, 0 and 1.16% respectively. The proportion of the factors affecting on the surgeries in group A, B, C were the differences of patients 61.77%, 6.67%, 85.71%; the types of polyp 27.94%, 60.00%, 0; the skill of surgeons 30.88%, 46.67%, 0%; the instrument 8.82%, 13.33%, 14.29% and the anaesthesia 16.18%, 33.33%, 0%.
Conclusion:
The main factor affecting the surgery of polyp of vocal cord in group A, C is the differences of patients. The main factor inducing to the complications of surgery is the anaesthesia. All factors affecting on the surgeries should be considered carefully before operation and the necessary measures to avoid the complications must be took.

Alveolar Surface Tension
The alveolar fluid lines the luminal surface of the alveoli and exerts a force called surface tension. This force is caused by the polar water molecules in the liquid being more strongly attracted to each...
