APPLICATION OF A SNARE IN LARYNGOMICROSURGERY

Abstract

Treatment of large laryngeal lesions with laryngomicrosurgical technique by use of a snare is introduced.
It is thought that an excessive removal of the mucous membrane and much bleeding can be avoided by use of a snare. The method was demonstrated with two case presentations and discussed from the viewpoint of the flexibility of the vocal fold mucous membrane and surgical manipulations which may influence on postoprative results.
