Abstract
We have employed a newly designed self-retaining therapeutic flexible laryngofiberscope, in conjunction with a VTR system, to perform phonosurgical resection of laryngeal lesions, such as vocal fold polyps. The self-retaining system allows bimanual manipulation in which forceps can be manipulated with one hand while the tip of the scope in centered on the lesion with the other. In this paper, some details of this laryngofiberscope are presented and a discussion emphasizing the clinical application in biopsy and removal of vocal fold polyps and other laryngeal lesions.
