Silvestrini] The purpose of this study was to assess the applicability and efficacy of ultrasonic instruments in laryngeal and pharyngeal endoscopic surgery. This article describes three cases of supraglottic laryngopharyngeal carcinoma transorally treated with the Harmonic forceps, which are indicative of our preliminary experience in this field. Based on our preliminary experience, we believe that the use of the ACE Harmonic forceps opens up very encouraging prospects in transoral endoscopic surgery of pharyngolaryngeal tumors and can potentially become a key instrument in this area. Given their different characteristics, we believe that ultrasonic instruments should be used not so much as an alternative to, but rather in addition to those traditionally used in pharyngolaryngeal endoscopic surgery and laser in particular. Finally, we hope that a more widespread use of these instruments in this surgical field may encourage manufacturers to solve the current technical limitations of miniaturization, thus designing and developing more precise and accurate instruments for this type of surgery.
