ABSTRACT

Laryngeal web is formed from various causes, and it is a connective tissue covered with epithelium on both sides. The purpose of the laryngeal web surgery is to cover the vocal cords with healthy epithelium and to achieve the normal or near normal function of respiration and phonation. A lot of surgical procedures have been introduced, but have some merits and disadvantages. Recently the authors tried this new surgical technique on 6 patients using the suspension laryngomicroscope under general anesthesia. The objective was to suture the upper and lower edges of the severed web. This new approach has several advantages ; 1) familiar instruments and visual field, 2) no unnecessary surgical trauma beyond the operation field, 3) one stage operation, 4) shorter operation time, 5) no serious complications, 6) short hospitalization, etc.
