Abstract：Objective: To investigate the efficacy of the new type epiglottis abscess incision operation under the guidance of electronic laryngoscopy.

Eighteen cases received direct laryngoscopy surgery, and 16 cases underwent the new type epiglottis abscess incision operation under the guidance of electronic laryngoscopy. The differences in operation duration, postoperative average hospitalization days, and pain scores between the two groups were compared. Results: There was no difference in postoperative average hospitalization days between the two groups, while the new incision group lengthen operative duration. The pain scores in post group were significantly lower than that in the direct laryngoscopy group. Conclusion: The new type epiglottis abscess incision operation under the guidance of electronic laryngoscopy can be easily performed with the advantages of clear view, less pain, and desirable effect.
