¸ñÀû: Microsurgical removal with a microflap technique via direct
laryngoscopy is considered the primary treatment option for vocal
cysts. However, the microflap technique is technically difficult and
challenging. Therefore, we developed the 'cotton ball self-retraction'
technique to aid in vocal cyst surgery and reduce the cyst rupture
incidence. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of this technique
in microflap dissection for vocal cysts by comparing its treatment
outcomes with those of the conventional technique as well as
investigate the rate of recurrence using a retrospective chart review. ¹æ¹ý:We reviewed the medical records of 169 patients who underwent surgery
with the microflap technique for vocal cysts from December 2006 to
December 2017. The patients were divided into two groups: 78 patients
underwent laryngomicrosurgery using the conventional microflap technique
(group A), whereas the remaining 91 patients underwent surgery with the
microflap technique with cotton ball self-retraction (group B). The
voice outcomes and operative data of the two groups were retrospectively
reviewed and compared. °á°ú:The cyst ruptured intraoperatively in 42 of 78 (53.8%) patients in group
A and 17 of 91 (18.6%) patients in group B. Recurrence during the
follow-up period was detected in 9 of 78 (11.5%) patients in group A and
2 of 91 (2.19%) patients in group B. The degrees of improvement in
assessed voice parameters were not significantly different between the
groups. °á·Ð:The cotton ball technique allows accurate and effective dissection
during microflap surgery for intracordal cysts. |
