[On microsurgical treatment of vocal cord carcinomas with CO2-laser (author's transl)]. 1979

K Burian, and H Höfler

The follow up of a few patients with cancer of the vocal cords treated with CO2-Laser microsurgery is described. This new technique seems to be suitable not only in the treatment of benign lesions of the larynx, but also for malignant tumors of determined localisation and extension. Owing to a relatively short observation time a final judgment of the recurrence rate is not yet possible.
