Laser Procedures

The lasers are able to access the larynx and they treat diseased tissue and limit damage to the natural tissues. 

The lasers are used for treatment of: 

• Leukoplakia: These are white patches on the vocal cords. These patches usually are not cancerous but usually are pre-cancerous.  
• Papilloma: These are benign growths on the larynx (voice box), usually on the vocal cords, that reduce the size of the air passage and impair voice quality.  
• Reinke’s Edema: This condition results in abnormally large vocal cords and a low pitched and rough voice
• Small Polyps, Ectasias and Varices: they can increase in size, making hoarseness worse, or can rupture, causing bleeding within the vocal cord.
