    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Laser Surgery
    • Vocal Cord Physiology

    Background:

    • Benign laryngeal tumors and lesions can impair vocal function.
    • Traditional surgical methods may cause significant tissue damage.
    • Minimally invasive techniques are sought to preserve laryngeal structures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the impact of CO2-laser surgery on vocal function.
    • To assess the efficacy of laser surgery for benign laryngeal lesions.
    • To compare pre- and post-operative vocal outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective study design.
    • Inclusion of 50 patients with laryngeal polyps, Reinke's edema, and leukoplakia.
    • Pre- and post-operative phoniatric assessment, including indirect microlaryngoscopy and microstroboscopy.
    • Independent assessment by three investigators.

    Main Results:

    • Good restoration of vocal function observed post-surgery.
    • CO2-laser surgery demonstrated minimal tissue damage.
    • Positive outcomes in voice quality and function were reported.

    Conclusions:

    • CO2-laser surgery is an effective treatment for benign laryngeal lesions.
    • The technique facilitates minimal tissue damage and good vocal function recovery.
    • Laser surgery offers a promising alternative for laryngeal lesion treatment.
