Patient Demographics
150 consecutive microlaryngoscopy procedures (141 adult patients)
involving SL were prospectively recorded. Patient characteristics are
shown in Table 2. Pathologies were generally benign although 2 patients
with endoscopically-managed slow-growing airway tumors were also
included. No patients reported pre-existing dental or tongue symptoms at
the preoperative stage. The median procedure time was 16 minutes (range
2-61min).
