Abstract:ObjectiveTo explore the application value of video laryngoscope for microsurgery of larynx in patients with difficult laryngeal exposure.MethodsClinical data 20 patients with difficult laryngeal exposure and underwent microsurgery of larynx in Xiangya Hospital from Jan 2016 to Aug 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. The data analyzed included mean operation time, average bleeding volume, odontoseisis incidence, rate of soft palate damage and postoperative pain score.ResultsAccording to the CormackLehane (CL) grading method of difficult laryngeal exposure, 15 patients were classified as grade Ⅲ and 5 as grade Ⅳ. Of all the 20 patients, the average operating time was (17.20±3.33) min, and mean blood loss volume was (3.30±1.17) ml, odontoseisis incidence and rate of soft palate damage were both 0(0/20), and the average postoperative pain score were (1.35±0.93). Postoperative followup for 3 to 6 months showed no recurrence.ConclusionWith advantages of full glottis exposure, shortened operation time and decreased perioperative complications, video laryngoscope is worth promoting for microsurgery of larynx in patients with difficult laryngeal exposure.
