Office‐based CO2 laser surgery for benign and premalignant laryngeal lesions

摘要

Patients with laryngeal pathology are often treated with CO laser surgery, usually in the operating room under general anesthesia. Although office‐based laser surgery using several other laser types has been investigated, prospective studies on office‐based CO laser surgery are scarce. Our goal was to investigate the feasibility of office‐based CO laser surgery for benign and premalignant laryngeal pathology by analyzing completion rate, safety, effect on voice quality, and success rate (i.e., no residual or recurrent disease).
