Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) caused by human papilloma virus (type 6 and 11) is the most common benign neoplasm of the larynx in children. Despite being a benign disease, treatment is very difficult and is characterized by frequent recurrence, spread throughout the respiratory tract, and malignant degeneration. Besides surgical resection and the established CO(2) laser treatment, laser surgery by fiber-guided Nd:YAG laser light promises to be a bloodless and effective treatment procedure. To improve this new method, a novel fiber guidance instrument has been developed to aid in endolaryngal laser surgery of RRP. Study design and setting The method described uses a specially designed instrument for fiber guidance that is equipped with a bendable distal tip to move the fiber end precisely. Moreover, the instrument includes an additional channel for the suction of smoke and pyrolysis products. Up to now, 5 patients (aged 4 to 8 years) with RRP were treated by Nd:YAG laser light (lambda = 1064 nm; power, 10 W; irradiance, 3.5 kW/cm(2), continuous wave) with a prototype version of the new instrument and were followed up for 12 months each.
