Abstract
in English, German

Significant and new impulses regarding the treatment concept for outpatient phonosurgery on unsedated patients are currently coming from various Anglo-American authors. These "office-based procedures" have been propagated as an alternative to many conventional surgical interventions under anesthesia. The main reason for this remarkable development is the use of new endoscopic techniques in combination with photoangiolytic laser (KTP and blue laser), which allow safe and efficient phonosurgical procedures. Patient acceptance is high since outpatient procedures are considered to have a lower surgical risk. Despite the widespread euphoria, there is a lack of studies evaluating the medical decision criteria and safety management of office-based laryngeal surgery.

Wesentliche und neue Impulse, die das Behandlungskonzept für ambulante phonochirurgische Eingriffe am unsedierten Patienten betreffen, stammen aktuell aus dem angloamerikanischen Sprachraum. Die dort etablierten „office-based procedures“ werden als eine Alternative zu vielen konventionellen operativen Larynxeingriffen in Vollnarkose propagiert. Maßgeblich für diese Entwicklung ist der Einsatz neuer endoskopischer Techniken in Kombination mit photoangiolytischen Laserverfahren (KTP-Laser und blauer Laser), die eine sichere und effiziente ambulante Phonochirurgie ermöglichen. Die Akzeptanz seitens der Patienten ist hoch, da ambulante Eingriffe als risikoärmer gelten. Ungeachtet der verbreiteten Euphorie fehlen weiterführende Studien, welche die medizinischen Entscheidungskriterien und das Sicherheitsmanagement bei dieser neuen ambulanten Ausrichtung der Kehlkopfchirurgie bewerten.

Keywords: Ambulatory surgical procedures; Endoscopy; Larynx; Laser therapy; Patient safety.
