Abstract

Background: Vocal fold leukoplakia is the most prevalent premalignant lesion of the larynx and presents heterogeneous biological behavior. Objective: To clinically present surgically treated vocal fold leukoplakia and evaluate the impact of transoperative rigid endoscopy on diagnosis and treatment. Methods: A transversal 30-year comparative study with and without rigid endoscopy was conducted. Results: Rigid endoscopy significantly improved intraoperative diagnostic accuracy and lesion detection. Conclusion: Rigid endoscopy is an indispensable tool for microsurgical treatment of vocal fold leukoplakia.

Keywords: Vocal fold leukoplakia; Rigid endoscopy; Laryngeal microsurgery; Premalignant lesions
