title: [The diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities of endolaryngeal microsurgery (author's transl)].
abstract: The technique and types of anesthesia for endolaryngeal microsurgery are described, utilizing a personal series of 1283 procedures which were performed over a preceding ten-year period. The great diagnostic value of this method of examination for the early diagnosis of glottic carcinoma is shown. 54.4% of all endolaryngeal microsurgical operations performed were used for the diagnosis, therapy and control of tumors. The remaining 45.6% of cases were undertaken to eliminate benign voice=disturbing processes. The indications for surgery are discussed, with note given to the low complication rate associated with such surgery.
