Abstract
We report our experience using a microdebrider system with a laryngeal blade for surgery of Reinke's edema in six patients. The microdebrider made it possible to do sucking, squeezing and pinching procedures at the same time and thus to shorten the total operation time. The postoperative data of PPQ and APQ improved and all patients was satisfied with their vocal outcome. The laryngeal blade we used was still large at its end and the degree was fixed, so we had to be careful to control the position of the end of blade, the power of the vacuum and the number of rotations. We found the microdebrider system to be very useful for Reinke's edema surgery, especially for cases with advanced lesions.
