[Endolaryngeal microsurgery. A report of our experiences in the years from 1966 to 1976 (author's transl)].

The total of 1420 mikrolarynagoscopic operations during the past 11 years have been epicritically evaluated by the authors. Besides obtaining a disclosure of the various diseases, the question of an early diagnosis of glottis cancer an its preceeding illnesses was discusses. With available case histories, the authors could determine a definite increase in the early stages of the comprehensive glottic carcinoms. The observed optimation of an early diagnosis has been related back to a reduction of the prediagnostic ailment intervals and the consequent prognomatic use of the endolaryngeal microdiagnoses. Considering the possibility of complication during the microlaryngological operation, a critical position was taken to the question of indications, and the diagnostical value of microskopic laryngoskopic as well as the stroboskopic in reference to the early diagnosis of malignant glottic changes were discussed. The authors have come to the previously presented interpretation that with malignantly suspicios appearance a histomorphological clarification by process of endolaryngial microdiagnosis cannot be waived.
