Abstract
Phonosurgery is the name given to a branch of laryngeal surgery whose primary aim is the best possible restoration of laryngeal function rather than the simple removal of lesions to restore normal laryngeal appearance. The concept of phonosurgery emerged in the early 1970s with the introduction of suspension microlaryngoscopy and the operating microscope. Considerable advances in surgical technique became possible, because surgeons using these instruments could make finer, more precise hand movements.
