Abstract

Endoscopic procedures include vocal cordotomy, arytenoidectomy, endoscopic mucosal advancement flap, and endoscopic posterior cricoid split with rib grafting [1]. The use of lasers in endoscopic procedures is relatively recent [2]. In this chapter, these techniques will be illustrated step by step, made on sheep’s larynx, using CO2 laser or cold instruments.
