Evaluarea diagnostică și terapeutică în videolaringoscopia suspendată.

Purpose of the paper. To highlight the benefits of endoscopic diagnostic and therapeutic exploration in laryngeal pathology. Objective of the paper. To facilitate clinical diagnosis and endoscopic therapy. Materials and method. A 5-year (2013- 2017) study of patients with dysphonic laryngeal, dyspneic and dysphagic laryngeal pathology with telescope-suspended laryngoscope, a camera connected to the monitor under general anesthesia. Endoscopically, 644 patients, aged between 16 and 81 years old, were treated with 818 diagnostic, therapeutic and exploratory-evolutionary laryngoscopies. Results and discussions. The benign princeps pathology was represented by laryngeal polyps (19.56%), followed by myxomas. Malignant tumors were diagnosed in 28.41% of the study group. The excision of benign tumors or biopsy of presumed malignant tumors was performed under the Kantor Berci II telescopic laryngoscope. The advantage of the optical device connected to the video camera and implicitly to the monitor by augmenting the image was that it elucidated the diagnosis and allowed the optimal functional treatment to be applied. Conclusions. Modern telescopic laryngoscopes producing a well-defined peripheral image and a depth of endoscopic focus, alongside the finest instrumentation, allow for accurate excisions and targeted sampling.
