Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Laryngeal surgery is a specialized field of surgery that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of laryngeal disorders. The current practice of laryngeal surgery involves a multidisciplinary approach that includes otolaryngologists, speech–language pathologists, and anesthesiologists. The most common indications for laryngeal surgery are vocal fold nodules, polyps, and cysts, benign and malignant lesions of the larynx, and airway obstruction due to various causes.
The current surgical techniques used in laryngeal surgery include microsurgery, endoscopic surgery, open surgery, and laser surgery. Microsurgery is a minimally invasive technique that uses specialized instruments and magnification to visualize and manipulate the laryngeal structures. Endoscopic surgery involves the use of a flexible or rigid endoscope to access the larynx through the mouth or nose. Open surgery involves making an incision in the neck to access the larynx directly. Laser surgery is a newer technique that uses a laser to vaporize or cut the laryngeal tissues.
In conclusion, laryngeal surgery is an important field of clinical medicine that continues to evolve with ongoing research and technological advancements. Current practice involves a multidisciplinary approach and the use of various surgical techniques, while future perspectives hold promise for further improvements in surgical outcomes and the understanding as well as management of laryngeal disorders.
