Atlas of Office-based Blue Laser Therapy in Laryngology

This atlas presents more than 400 images and video recordings that detail the step-by-step surgical techniques for in-office blue laser surgery in the treatment of benign and pre-malignant diseases of the larynx.

It is the first atlas to compile such a large number of cases—more than 50—with pre-, intra-, and post-operative images. The last two decades have seen major advances in technology, including the development of the flexible endoscope with a working channel and glass fibers for laser delivery. These advances often spared patients the risk of general anesthesia and the morbidities of suspension microlaryngoscopy.

The evolution of laryngology practice toward office-based surgery has broadened the use of the blue laser in the office with relatively good patient tolerance and surgical outcomes. This resource is educational for voice care providers seeking office-based therapy for their patients, including otolaryngologists, laryngologists, speech-language pathologists, phoniatrists, and other voice therapists.
