Objectives: Functional outcomes following microflap surgery for vocal fold pathology are favorable. Although the stratified squamous epithelium appears to heal rapidly, persistent physiologic tissue alterations are likely. We sought to elucidate key biochemical processes including recruitment of immune cells, regulation of cellular junction proteins, and long-term alterations to epithelial tissue permeability following microflap with an eye toward enhanced clinical outcomes.

Objective: Mesna triggers chemical dissection in tissues by breaking down disulfide bonds and is used during surgical dissections in several areas. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of submucosal mesna infiltration on microflap elevation and the histopathological findings of its effects on the vocal fold lamina propria in a rabbit model.

Methods: Eight adult male New Zealand white rabbits were used in the study.

Objectives/hypothesis: Microsurgical removal with a microflap technique via direct laryngoscopy is considered the primary treatment option for vocal cysts. However, the microflap technique is technically difficult and challenging. Therefore, we developed the "cotton ball self-retraction" technique to aid in vocal cyst surgery and reduce the cyst rupture incidence.

Objectives:: The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of the submucosal infusion combined with microflap dissection via laser CO2 as both a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure for superficial glottic lesions. To define a safe surgical procedure in terms of local control, a morphometric study of surgical margins was performed.

Methods:: From January 2011 to January 2016, we treated 122 patients with early glottic lesions with phonomicrosurgery.
