Angiolytic lasing utilizing the KTP⁄green laser has become a popular means to treat various laryngeal lesions. This laser can photocoagulate vascular lesions with minimal heat damage to surrounding tissues, which is advantageous because it avoids postoperative scar formation on the vocal folds. This laser has proven useful in treating hemangioma, microvascular lesions, hemorrhagic polyp as well as recurrent papillomatosis, dysplasia, and CIS on the vocal folds. Since the laser causes minimal bleeding during the procedure, office based surgery is well indicated. The rationale, set up, and surgical technique are discussed in this manuscript.
