Abstract (original English)

Lipoinjections into the vocal folds are well established in otorhinolaryngology. Currently, lipofilling in patients with surgical defects after laser cordectomy is discussed. We describe a new device for liposuction and lipofilling for primary vocal fold reconstruction after laser cordectomy. A patient with a surgical defect after pT1a glottic cancer is presented. Primary lipoinjection after laser cordectomy was documented as a safe and easy method to reconstruct the surgical defect. No relevant complications have been observed. Fettaugmentationen der Stimmlippen sind ein etabliertes Verfahren in der Hals-Nasen-Ohrenheilkunde. Aktuell wird dieses Verfahren auch bei Patienten mit endolaryngealen Defekten nach Laser-Chordektomie diskutiert. Der Artikel beschreibt diesbezüglich ein minimal-invasives Verfahren zur primären Liposuktion und Fettaugmentation bei Patienten nach der Resektion eines pT1a Stimmlippenkarzinoms. Dieses neue Verfahren erwies sich als sichere und technisch einfache Methode zur Rekonstruktion von Stimmlippendefekten. Relevante Komplikationen wurden nicht beobachtet.
