Transoral Laser Microsurgery

It, is a procedure to remove tumors of the larynx and throat using a precise carbon dioxide laser beam.  

The laser beam is an ideal way of removing tumors because it is coupled with a microscope, allowing more exact removal of tumors. This degree of precision is especially important for tumors of the throat and larynx because even minor damage to the surrounding tissue can have a significant impact on speech and swallowing. 

 The surgeon uses a precise, carbon dioxide laser beam to cut the tumor away from the surrounding healthy tissue. The beam itself creates minimal heat energy, limiting damage to the tissue surrounding the tumor.
