Angiolytic Laser

AbstractObjectives:Recently, the 532 nm pulsed potassium-titanyl-phosphate laser has emerged as an effective angiolytic laser for treating mucosal lesions of the larynx in the operating theatre and clinic. We sought to assess the current impact of potassium-titanyl-phosphate laser on our laryngeal surgery practice.Study design:Retrospective review of 710 patients undergoing endoscopic laryngeal surgery over a one-year period.Methods:Medical records of the endoscopic laryngeal procedures were reviewed; 386/710 had been performed in the clinic and 324/710 in the operating theatre under general anaesthesia. Indications for the procedures were classified by pathology.Results:Pulsed potassium-titanyl-phosphate laser was used in 209/386 clinic procedures. The indications for these procedures were: dysplasia (114/209 procedures), papillomatosis (89/209), varices or ectasia (three of 209), and ‘other’ (three of 209). Pulsed potassium-titanyl-phosphate laser was used in 178/324 operating theatre endoscopic laryngeal procedures. The indications for these procedures were: cancer (54/178 procedures), dysplasia (52/178), papillomatosis (38/178), varices or ectasia (13/178), polyps (six of 178), nodules (six of 178), stenosis (five of 178), granulation (three of 178), and amyloid (one of 178).Conclusions:Due to its versatility, the 532 nm pulsed potassium-titanyl-phosphate laser is our most commonly utilised instrument for performing endoscopic laryngeal surgery.

Potassium Titanyl Phosphate Laser

Cricopharyngeal dysfunction is a relatively uncommon disorder that is widely misunderstood. Cricopharyngeal dysmotility is thought to represent abnormal function of the upper esophageal or cricopharyngeal sphincter. The cause of this dysfunction is related to uncoordinated pharyngeal swallowing, achalasia, or a combination of these factors. Unfortunately, standard diagnostic tests have not consistently demonstrated a failure of the cricopharyngeal sphincter to malfunction; therefore, cricopharyngeal myotomy has been suggested as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool in the treatment of dysmotility. Our report focuses on the current trends in the diagnosis and treatment of cricopharyngeal dysfunction. We also present a case report of a transmucosal cricopharyngeal myotomy performed with the potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) laser. The KTP laser was found to be relatively safe and effective and did not demonstrate significant morbidity. Our conclusion was that a transmucosal cricopharyngeal myotomy with the KTP laser may represent a viable alternative for patients with cricopharyngeal dysmotility.

Laryngeal Involvement

AbstractBackground:Pachyonychia congenita is a rare keratinising disorder, which typically presents during the first three years of life and usually affects the nails and palmoplantar surfaces. It can involve the larynx and potentially result in life-threatening airway obstruction.Methods:A case report is presented and the findings of a literature review are reported. The review involved a PubMed search using the keywords ‘pachyonychia congenita’ together with ‘larynx’, ‘laryngeal involvement’, ‘laryngeal obstruction’, ‘airway obstruction’, ‘hoarseness’ and/or ‘stridor’.Results:A five-year-old boy, with confirmed pachyonychia congenita, presented with complications of laryngeal involvement over a four-year period. He required three intubations and a tracheostomy for acute airway obstruction. Treatment with potassium titanyl phosphate laser laryngoscopy stabilised the progression of laryngeal disease.Conclusion:Patients with pachyonychia congenita and laryngeal involvement can have a varied presentation, ranging from hoarseness to acute airway obstruction. Management can be a challenge, requiring early evaluation, regular surveillance and aggressive treatment. This paper reports our experience in managing and treating the laryngeal complications of a child with pachyonychia congenita.
