A randomized control study comparing the pharyngolaryngeal morbidity of laryngeal mask airway versus endotracheal tubeKeywords: Anesthesia-general, endotracheal, intubation, laryngeal mask airway, morbidity, postoperative period Abstract: Endotracheal tube (ETT) has been associated with various pharyngolaryngeal morbidities (PLMs) following general anesthesia (GA). Laryngeal mask airway (LMA), currently the most commonly used supraglottic airway device, has several advantageous over the ETT but has been associated with varying results of PLM. The aim of our study was to compare the PLM between them and to know whether LMA is a better alternative
