Abstract
■ Exposure is essential to successful microlaryngoscopy excision of vocal fold carcinoma.
■ Orientation of the excision specimen on a tongue blade is extremely helpful to further management of any positive margins that occur on the final pathologic analysis and to minimize the amount of tissue that is damaged or removed during the treatment of early vocal fold carcinoma.
