Abstract
It is important to properly control intraoperative bleeding during phonomicrosurgery in order to achieve optimal results and outcomes. The present study investigated the usefulness of the subepithelial infusion of epinephrine and the photocoagulation of microvascular lesions using the KTP laser to control of bleeding. Forty-seven cases were treated by phonomicrosurgery using this strategy to control intraoperative bleeding. Forty-three procedures showed an excellent controls of intraoperative bleeding by means of infusion and/or KTP laser photocoagulation, thus indicting the usefulness of these strategies for the prevention of bleeding.
