Abstract
Three cases of large vocal fold polyps, severe vocal fold polyps, and large laryngeal papilloma were successfully treated by using a snare in laryngomicrosurgery techniques. Postoperative analysis showed that excellent voice restoration was obtained in all cases. It is thought that the snare minimizes excess removal of the mucous membrane, and keeps the amount of bleeding down. In this paper, the method is demonstrated with clinical case reports and discussed from the view point of the flexibility of the vocal fold mucous membrane and surgical manipulations that may influence postoperative results.
