Abstract
Granuloma in larynx posterior is a relatively uncommon disease and the recurrent cases are occasionally seen after surgical removal. Most of the granulomas are classified as post-intubation granuloma and idiopathic granuloma. In the past five years, six patients with post-intubation granuloma and eight patients with idopathic granuloma were examined. The treatment of granuloma starts with elimination of vocal abuse. If the granuloma is large, it is removed by laryngomicrosurgery. Then steroid injections to the lesion must be repeated. It was found that repetitive steroid injections to the lesion after surgical removal was very effective for all cases. This method was also good for recurrent cases.
