Abstract
CO~2~ laser has become a common surgical technique in the management of glottic cancer. The patients treated with this modality may benefit from additional phonosurgical techniques used to improve postoperative vocal outcome.
The aim of this article was to review those phonosurgical techniques described for glottic reconstruction after CO~2~ laser excision of glottic cancer. The indications for using each technique are discussed, with particular attention paid to functional outcomes following these reconstructive efforts. Β© 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck, 2009

## Abstract ## Background. Clinical outcome of endoscopic CO~2~ laser surgery and radiotherapy in earlyβstage glottic laryngeal carcinoma is difficult to compare because of differences in treatment selection and patient groups. Therefore, we compared local control, overall survival, and laryngeal
## Background: Treatment of early glottic malignancies is controversial, particularly if postoperative endoscopy shows minimal/no residual disease. ## Methods: In a prospective nonrandomized study, we performed endoscopic laser surgery with curative intent in 59 patients with early glottic carcin
