Effects of Lidocaine and Prednisolone on Endoscopic Rigid Laryngoscopy

Objective/Hypothesis: The aim of this study is to compare the effects of lidocaine and methylprednisolone on postoperative respiratory complications caused by short‐term laryngeal surgery by way of rigid laryngoscope under general anesthesia. The effects of these drugs on recovery from anesthesia are also compared.
