YVC attended the Shanghai International Association of Otorhinolaryngology 2013
The director of Yeson Voice Center, Hyung-Tae Kim, has attended the Shanghai International Association of Otorhinolaryngology 2013 from August 16th to 18th presenting his clinical result on the new surgery techniques for laryngeal diseases.
He compared the outcomes of PDL surgery performed to treat benign laryngeal diseases with those of previous types of laryngeal surgeries in various ways. As a result, he found PDL surgery very safe and effective when it comes to analyze its influence on surgical portion, surgery time, recovery time and etc. Especially PDL surgery was highly effective for patients with Sulcus Vocalis as it showed the 75% of successful rate among 357 cases done.
Also the data was based upon the result data of 794 patients who visited Yeson Voice Center for the treatment of PDL from 2005 to 2011. This included all the patients regardless of their age and medical history related to cardiac problems as PDL surgery is performed under local anesthesia. PDL treatment was used for treating laryngeal papilloma, vocal folds formation disorder, laryngeal granuloma, vocal polyp, sulcus vocalis, etc and the results were observed.
PDL surgery is a laser surgery performed under local anesthesia instead of general anesthesia with the support of laryngoscope. Firstly the laryngoscope is inserted through the nose then, the surgery is performed by applying laser inserted in the electronic laryngoscope.
According to the research finding, PDL can treat only the unhealthy tissues at a time enabling it to be the bloodless operation. As it does not disrupt the healthy tissues, it can preserve one’s voice at the utmost condition. Main strengths are that the surgery takes about 20 minutes and the recovery period is very short.
Dr. Kim, the director of Yeson Voice Center said, “It is my pleasure to present a paper at the conference where all well-known ENT specialists are gathered. With the continuous research and study of PDL surgeries’ positive result, it is believed to be a contributing factor for the development of the study of larynx.
