Oncological and functional outcome after transoral 532-nm pulsed potassium-titanyl-phosphate laser surgery for T1a glottic carcinoma
Lasers in Medical Science, 05/24/2012
Murono S et al. – Transoral laser surgery (TLS) with a potassium–titanyl–phosphate (KTP) laser for early glottic carcinoma achieved acceptable local control and postoperative voice comparable to those with a CO2 laser reported in the literature, suggesting that the procedure based on an excision and ablation strategy can be considered oncologically and functionally acceptable for this lesion.
