“…This method does not require any special complementary devices. Through research using animal models, Divi et al found that the vocal cord of a dog completely reepithelised by day 7, the muscles of the cord were not damaged, and as compared to the CO 2 laser procedure studied earlier the extent of inflammatory response was also reduced [4]. Our experiences are in agreement with the above findings.…”

Besides cold-steel and laser instruments, the use of radiofrequency (RF) devices in transoral microsurgery is getting increasing popularity mainly due to its minimal thermal effect on the collateral soft tissue. Authors summarize their surgical technique, results, and experience gained with RF applied during laryngeal interventions at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery at Medical School, University of Pécs. Transoral microsurgery using radiofrequency was carried out in 23 cases in total between 1 January 2011 and 1 March 2013. Fourteen histopathologically different benign lesions and 9 malignant planocellular carcinomas of the larynx were removed using different Micro-Larynx RF Probes powered by Surgitron Dual 4.0 MHz Frequency RF (Ellman International, Oceanside, NY, USA) device. No major bleeding event occurred during or after the procedures and neither laryngeal oedema nor significant postoperative pain was recorded. Authors also reviewed the international literature in this topic while detailing some of their most interesting cases.

“…17,18 Coblation operates at temperatures of 40-70°C, which is considerably cooler than the above-mentioned 400-600°C for monopolar cautery and the CO 2 laser. 30 The use of coblation thereby reduces the likelihood of collateral tissue damage, whilst also minimising or even eliminating the risk of airway fires. 31 Coblation has been shown to enhance the healing of long-standing cutaneous ulcers; 32 this is thought to be due to an inhibition of fibroblast growth, and represents an additional benefit of the plasma field.…”

“…Patients with vocal fold (VF) polyps who failed conservative treatment were included. Exclusion criteria consisted of the following: (1) age \18 or .60 years, (2) smoking or substance abuse, (3) pregnancy or breastfeeding, (4) neurological problems, (5) contraindications to general anesthesia, and (6) healthy mucosa over the polyp. The patients with healthy mucosa over the polyp were excluded from the study because in these patients, we had to preserve the mucosa, and we preferred the microflap approach.…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of quantum molecular resonance (QMR) energy in phonomicrosurgery. Quantum molecular resonance energy (QMRE) is an innovative technology that provides low temperature cutting and coagulation of tissues and causes minimal tissue damage during the procedure. Because of these features, this technology may offer new possibilities in phonomicrosurgery. Twelve patients with vocal fold polyps underwent QMR-assisted phonomicrosurgery. The patients were evaluated before and after surgery at 1 and 3 months postoperatively by using the voice handicap index, laryngeal stroboscopy rating, acoustic voice analysis, and perceptual voice evaluation. The subjects were also evaluated by a patient self-assessment questionnaire at 3 months postoperatively. All parameters significantly improved after QMR-assisted phonomicrosurgery (P < .05). All of the patients also subjectively improved by self-rating. These results suggest that QMRE is a safe and potentially promising treatment in phonomicrosurgery. Yet, further studies should be conducted to confirm these results.
