Lasers are a relatively recent addition to laryngeal surgery. Since their invention, laser use
and applications have expanded rapidly. In this article, we discuss the benefits and …

Transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) is an emerging technique for the management of
laryngeal and other head and neck malignancies. It is increasingly being used in place of …

Background: The recent introduction of 445 nm blue laser to office-based laryngology
presents potential advantages. These include a desirable combination of cutting and …

Objectives: Photoangiolytic laser treatment of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is
effective, but does not reliably prevent recurrence. Therefore, sublesional injections of the …

Background Photoangiolytic lasers have broadened the surgical armamentarium for many
phonosurgical interventions. However, the pulse dye laser and potassium titanyl phosphate …

Objectives: Photoangiolytic lasers effectively treat glottal papillomatosis, but do not reliably
prevent recurrence. Therefore, sublesional injections of the antiangiogenic agent …

Purpose This study aimed to examine the relationship between a large set of hypothesized
physiological measures of vocal effort and self-ratings of vocal effort. Method Twenty-six …

Objectives: Although near-normal conversational voices can be achieved with the
phonosurgical management of early glottic cancer, there are still acoustic and aerodynamic …

Summary Objectives/Hypothesis Although office-based laser surgery applications for benign
and premalignant lesions of the larynx are appealing, there are scant data on their …

Abstract Objectives/Hypothesis: Although the potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) laser is
versatile, the variability in laser parameters for laryngeal pathologies and the lack of clinical …
