Multi-Institutional Experience With the In-Office Potassium Titanyl Phosphate Laser for Laryngeal Lesions

Office‐based 532‐Nanometer pulsed potassium‐titanyl‐phosphate laser for marsupialization of laryngeal and vallecular mucoceles

“…It has excellent hemostasis and its selectivity and pulsed nature result in minimal tissue injury secondary to stray shots during treatment of a moving target in an awake patient . In‐office treatment has been shown to be successful in disorders such as recurrent respiratory papilloma, vocal fold polyps, Reinke's edema, and laryngeal dysplasia . Office‐based laryngeal procedures represent a favored alternative to the use of the operating room or other resource‐intensive settings, and are classically very well tolerated by patients .…”

Comparison of benign lesion regression following vocal fold steroid injection and vocal hygiene education

“…In this study, we applied the measuring technique proposed by Mallur et al to overcome the variance of lesion sizes by the distance from endoscopic tip to vocal folds . As a result, we reported 1‐ and 2‐month lesion reduction rates following VFSI to be 39% and 46%, respectively, which were significantly higher than the reduction rates with VHE (6% and 24 %, respectively).…”

Symptomatic vallecular cysts: diagnosis and management with the KTP laser

“…There is an established subset of research on the efficacy of KTP laser ablation on vocal fold lesions, Reinke's edema, and glottal papillomatosis [15]. This is the first study to evaluate the treatment of vallecular cysts in adults using KTP laser therapy.…”
