title: [CO2 laser treatment of the glottic sulcus and of epidermoid cyst. Technic and results].
abstract: The CO2-lasers of the new generation are equipped with milliwatts, super-pulse, small spot size (700 U or less). These technical improvements safe permit in resection of vocal fold benign lesions like polyps, nodules, or even sulcus glottidis. Our resection technique for sulcus glottidis and epidermoïd cysts is presented in 18 cases. If very strict rules of microsurgical treatment are respected, the functional results are as good as those with conventional techniques (93% of good results).
