title: [Lasermicrosurgery of benign lesions of the vocal cord and functional results (author's transl)].
abstract: There exist two different lasers for the endolaryngeal microsurgery: Carbon-dioxid-Laser (lambda = 10,6 micrometer) and Neodymium: YAG-Laser (lambda = 1,06 micrometer). We have performed with the Nd: YAG-Laser mediLas experimental studies with animals as well as clinical investigations. Now we do endolaryngeal lasermicrosurgery in selected cases as a method of treatment. The surgical method is reported. Our number of cases as well as the follow-up-study allow us to give a first statement upon the functional results obtained by lasermicrosurgery of benign vocal-cord-lesions.
