Abstract

Introduction: We reviewed the treatment options for laryngoceles over the last two decades.

Methods: We searched PubMed for the keyword “laryngocele”, assessing the type of laryngocele/laryngopyocele (internal/external) and the treatment modality.

Results: We identified 71 laryngoceles in 63 patients, assessing the surgical treatment. An external approach was performed in 25 of 29 (86.2%) cases of mixed laryngoceles. In our ENT Department Timisoara we identified in the last 2 decades a number of 5 cases, and the last 2 cases presented a mixed laryngoceles with respiratory distress.

Conclusions: CO2 LASER resection by microlaryngoscopy represents the main therapeutic option for internal laryngoceles while the external approaches still remain the main therapeutic approach for the treatment of mixed laryngoceles.
