Sténoses laryngées: Traitement endoscopique au laser CO2

Laryngeal stenosis: Endoscopic treatment with CO2 laser

  • Published:
Acta Endoscopica

Résumé

Les sténoses du larynx posent des problèmes complexes. Aucune technique ne s’est révélée totalement satisfaisante dans le traitement des différentes variétés de sténoses. Ľemploi du laser CO2 dans le traitement endoscopique des sténoses du larynx a conduit dans le Département O.R.L. de ľUniversité de Catania, à traiter avec succès des sténoses congénitales et acquises.

Trois échecs ont été enregistrés au niveau de sténoses sévères de longue date, ďétiologie inflammatoire et associées a un important remaniement cartilagineux, justifiant le recours à une intervention chirurgicale par voie externe.

Comparée aux méthodes traditionnelles, la technique endoscopique présente plusieurs avantages : éxérèse non hémorragique, nette diminution des processus inflammatoires secondaires, réépithélialisation précoce et morbidité faible, tous consécutifs à la technique même de la chirurgie endoscopique sous laser CO2.

Summary

Stenosis of the larynx presents perplexing problems. No technique has proved totally satisfactory in the management of all varieties of stenosis. The use of CO2 laser in the endoscopic management of stenoses of the larynx has allowed in the E.N.T. Department of Catania University, to treat successfully congenital or acquired stenoses.

Three failures have been recorded from severe longdated stenoses with inflammatory etiology and large cartilaginous involvement for which an external surgical procedure is required.

Compared with the traditional systems the advantage are due to the bloodless exeresis, to the great reduction of secondary inflammatory processes, to the early reepithelisation, to the low morbility which are the elements connected with endoscopic surgery with CO2 laser.
