Abstract

The use of microscopically controlled laser surgery to treat tumors of the upper aerodigestive tract has as a function maintaining form of treatment gained significance. It is an alternative to conventional surgery, which often makes organ removal necessary. We report on our experience with 85 patients who underwent a laser surgical resection of malignomas of the upper aerodigestive tract. The aim of transoral laser surgery is a histologically confirmed radical tumor resection. Tumor resection can be individually adapted according to the tumor extent. An unnecessary resection of cartilage and muscles can be avoided. Provided the appropriate indication is given, laser surgery yields good oncologic and excellent functional results.
