Abstract
We reported the surgical treatment for Polypoid vocal cord using KTP laser. In this method, edema of the vocal cord is aspirated by the KTP laser without incision of the mucosa of vocal cord by surgical knife. To avoid postoperative cicatrization low-range laser power is used. It is important to avoid aspiration the free edge of vocal cord. In this report, a typical case using this method was presented. The findings of laryngeal fiberscopy and voice assessment by GRABS classification were improved after surgery. It was suggested that this method is useful for surgical treatment of polypoid vocal cords.
