Abstract:
100 patients with hoarseness of voice were studied with the help of microlaryngoscopy along with other conventional methods. The peak incidence of the laryngeal diseases was in the age group between 21 to 30 years (28%). The incidence in males (56%), was more than females (44%). Maximum incidence was found among house-wives (29%). 72% patients had a history of vocal abuse. Commonest disease was vocal nodule (30%). The ratio of unilateral and bilateral affection was near about 5 : 4. Hoarseness of voice due to vocal nodules, Reinke's oedema, vocal polyps or fibroangioma was cured in 88%-100% of the cases by microlaryngeal surgery.
