Abstract

Aim: to determine the incidence and clinic-demographic profile of patients undergoing microlaryngeal surgery.

Materials and Methods: this is a prospective study of 100 patients attending an outpatient department with laryngeal lesions evaluated irrespective of their age, sex, and occupation. Biopsy-confirmed malignant cases were excluded.

Result: of the 100 patients, 84 of them exhibited benign lesions and rest 16 patients showed malignant pathology. Most commonly seen benign vocal lesion is vocal nodule (37.0%) followed by vocal polyp (28.0%). Along with hoarseness of voice, other symptoms reported were cough and throat pain, Dysphagia and fever. Improvement in symptoms was seen after the treatment.

Conclusion: Microlaryngeal surgery is a good therapeutic tool in both benign and malignant lesions. The differentiation of benign from malignant lesions is vital. Microlaryngoscopic examination has proved to be the best modality for visualizing these lesions and arriving at a clinical diagnosis
