Abstract:
A consecutive series of 11 patients presenting with obstructing laryngeal neoplasms over an 8-month period have been treated by laser debulking of the tumour in order to avoid a tracheotomy. Providing that all members of the team are experienced in microlaryngeal laser surgery, this technique can be safely and effectively used in the management of obstructing laryngeal neoplasms.
