Laryngeal stenosis remains one of the most challenging issues in laryngology, greatly impacting airway, voice, and quality of life. Drawing from extensive clinical experience and supporting evidence, i propose to present outcomes and surgical techniques of one-stage glottic and subglottic reconstruction using epiglottic mucosal free grafting. This method enables simultaneous treatment of complex stenosis with tissue from the same surgical field, facilitating early epithelialization and reducing morbidity. Furthermore, recent experience demonstrates that epiglottic mucosal free grafting is highly effective for vocal fold reconstruction and voice preservation following partial cordectomy for early laryngeal cancer. This keynote will address patient selection, surgical nuances, long-term voice and airway outcomes, and discuss the expanding role of this technique in modern laryngeal surgery.
MEDICAL TREATMENT OF NASAL POLYPOSIS
Nasal polyposis is a recurrent nasal pathology that causes nasal obstruction and reduces the quality of life of patients.
Regardless of how sophisticated the surgical intervention is performed in skilled hands, recurrence of the disease can not be prevented in most patients. Therefore, medical treatment is an inevidable part of disease management.
The topic will be discussed as follows;
1. General principles and steps of treatment of Nasal polypozis

Endolaryngeal laser surgery is an effective treatment modality in the management of in situ and early stage laryngeal carcinoma
Transoral laser surgery has an important place in early stage laryngeal cancers. Preoperative endoscopic and radiological evaluation of patients is important. Especially in glottic tumors, anterior commissure involvement is a poor prognostic criterion.
