BACKGROUND: There are different reports in the literature how often @entity86 occurs after laser resection of @entity135 . This retrospective study investigates the frequency of @entity86 after laser surgery of @entity135 . Time and extent of @entity548 have been considered as well as the localization of the primary @entity5 and possible general risk factors. METHODS AND @entity1 : Between 1998 and 2001, microscopic laser surgery was performed in 223 @entity1 with previously untreated @entity957 of the oral cavity, oropharynx, supraglottic and glottic region and the hypopharynx. In case of ultrasonographic or palpable evidence of cervical @entity3329 surgery included subsequent neck dissection. The mean age of the @entity1 was 59.2 year. RESULTS: @entity86 occurred in 14 out of 223 @entity1 (6 %). It was 9 % for @entity1697 , @entity1 10 % for @entity189 , 5 % for @entity189 and none for glottic and @entity189 . 5 @entity1 were treated conservatively, 4 @entity1 were controlled bei cautery and ligation, 1 @entity1 was treated with ligation of the lingual artery and in 2 cases ligation of the external carotid artery was performed. 1 @entity1 had a fatal @entity548 . CONCLUSIONS: Laser-surgical resection of @entity135 does not lead to a higher incidence of @entity548 complications compared to ordinary surgery.
