In all 43 patients CO2 laser surgery in Kleinsasser microlaryngoscopy set was performed. Results. In all cases, confi rmed in histological examination the resection was radical. Follow-up was conducted every month in the fi rst year of observation, then every 2–3 months. The time of follow-up ranged from 40 to 64 month, mean 51 month. In 4 patients (9,3%) treated for early glottic cancer with CO2 laser surgery the local relapse occurred after 10, 15, 19 and 28 month respectively. In two patients total laryngectomy, in one reconstructive partial laryngectomy and in one radiotherapy was performed. The mean time of observation after salvage treatment is 29 months.
