Abstract

Human papilloma virus (HPV) of the vocal fold is reasonably common. In most patients, it is caused by viral types associated with low risk of malignancy. After pathology has been confirmed, ablation can be accomplished well with blue laser which may be helpful especially for early recurrence of HPV. It is important that the blue laser be set at appropriate power densities to avoid injury to adjacent and subjacent tissue and to minimize recurrence.
