“…Radiotherapy of the primary lesion was also considered, but CO 2 laser excision and radical neck dissection were decided upon because of size of the metastasis and the foreseeable shorter hospitalization of the patient. This was also supported by our more than 10 years' experience with endoscopic CO 2 laser treatment of laryngeal tumors [2,3] and the published results in the literature [9,10].…”

“…Both the endoscopic excision of the tumor with the CO 2 laser and endoscopic laterofixation of the vocal cord are useful, minimally invasive methods with a reasonable indication. The CO 2 laser is generally accepted for early T1a, T1b vocal cord tumors [2][3][4]9] in selected cases can be used for marginal supraglottic tumors [5,9,11]. However, only a few reports recommend the endoscopic removal of small laryngopharyngeal tumors [9,10].…”

“…Opinions on therapy vary across disciplines and between countries15 because both surgery and radiotherapy are equally effective 1–6. In recent years, transoral endoscopic laser resection has been accepted as an alternative to open partial laryngeal surgery and radiotherapy 16–25. Transoral endoscopic laser resection has not been traditionally employed in our practice, and therefore this report focuses only on our experience of open partial laryngectomy.…”

“…Transoral laser microsurgery is gaining popularity for the management of early glottic cancers, as it has been associated with voice preservation, a shorter treatment duration, and similar survival rates as radiotherapy according to a case series [ 108 - 114 ]. In addition, transoral laser microsurgery has some benefit compared to the conventional open partial laryngectomy, such as low morbidity, a reduced necessity of tracheostomy and/or nasogastric feeding, short hospital stay, and few sequelae related to surgical procedures [ 115 ].…”
