Abstract :

Introduction: A total of 50 patients were included in the present study conducted at our institute over a period of 1 year. They all have clinically benign vocal cord lesion. Materials and method: The patients were selected at random from those attending ENT department. All of them were suffering from vocal cord lesions.Indirect laryngoscopy was the corner stone of slection. After diagnosis most of them were treated with microlaryngeal surgery and post operatively histology was also studied. Result and Discussion:The incidence of benign non neoplastic tumours (80%) was much greater than neoplastic(20%) cases. Benign lesions have been found among housewives,students,people engaged in services,hawkers,bus conductors,private tutors,singers.The duration of suffering ranged from 10 days to 4 years.Hoarseness was the main symptom in majority of cases(78%).Two patients came with dyspnoea and tracheostomy were needed.10% cases came with chronic cough.It was found that most of the cases of unilateral vocal cord lesions were on right side and single(26 out of 36).Out of 8 cases treated with conservative management results of 6 cases were satisfactory.The success rate was 75%.Rest 42 cases which were undergone microlaryngeal surgery,satisfactory results were obtained in 33 cases(78%). Conclusion: All of the patients were advised to continue speech therapy post–operatively. The overall success rate was 78%. The overall results of micro laryngeal surgery is satisfactory and earlier is the report, better are the results.
