The CO2 laser has been found to be a useful adjunct in our efforts to treat laryngeal carcinoma. Utilized endoscopically, it has been of help in establishing the proper staging, in diagnosing recurrence after radiation therapy, in reestablishing airways blocked with tumor, in debulking tumor mass prior to radiation and/or chemotherapy, and as a primary mode of excisional therapy, all accomplished with minimal morbidity. Most patients may return home the first postoperative day, eating, with serviceable voice, and requiring no tracheotomy or analgesics, all of which provide a significant cost benefit.
