Results None of the patients showed complication. Three cases of vocal polyp were cured by a single procedure. In cases of leukoplakia and laryngeal hair, the lesion was significantly improved but required repeated procedures. In contrast, patients with contact granuloma, subglottic stenosis, and tracheal lesion showed partial remission with laser surgery. Only one patient required conversion to general anesthesia after office-laser surgery; this patient had laryngeal papillomatosis with an invisible surface and inappropriate exposure, making it difficult for the fiberoptic endoscope to reach the lesion.
