Large Internal Laryngocele Excised Endoscopically

Abstract

Aim: A patient with large internal laryngocele managed with endoscopic microsurgical excision is discussed. Subject: Laryngocele are rare abnormal dilatations of the laryngeal saccule. A variety of surgical treatments have been proposed. The large internal laryngocele has traditionally been managed through an external approach. We endoscopically excised with partial vestibulectomy a large internal laryngocele using suspension microlaryngoscopy and cold blade, similar to the technique of laser excision of laryngocele. Result: Endoscopic microsurgery appears to be an acceptable treatment even for large internal laryngoceles. Key words: Internal laryngocele, Endoscopy, Partial vestibulectomy

Endoskopik Olarak Eksize Edilen Büyük İnternal Laringosel

Öz

Amaç: Endoskopik mikrocerrahi ile tedavi edilen büyük internal laringoselin literatür bilgileri eşliğinde tartışılması. Konu: Laringosel laringeal sakkül bölgesinin nadir görülen anormal genişlemesidir. Günümüze kadar bir çok cerrahi tedavi yöntemi önerilmiştir. Büyük internal laringoseller geleneksel olarak eksternal yaklaşım yoluyla tedavi edilmektedir. Büyük bir internal laringoseli suspansiyon mikrolaringoskopi ile laser eksizyon tekniğine benzer olarak endoskopik olarak soğuk bıçak ile eksize ettik. Sonuç: Endoskopik mikrocerrahi internal laringoseller için kabul edilebilir bir tedavi yöntemidir. Anahtar kelimeler: İnternal laringosel, Endoskopi, Parsiyel vestibulektomi
