Herein, we described a novel method as the use of AcuBlade robotic microsurgery system to manage idiopathic subglottic stenosis in a 73‐y‐old lady. Compared to traditional CO2 lasers, AcuBlade facilitated the scar resection by the generation of different shape of beams (straight, curved, or disk). The same setting used for phonomicrosurgery (1‐mm beam length, power of 10 W and pulse duration of 0.05‐s) allowed to obtain fast, long, and uniform cuts. In addition, the reduction of the number of laser passes over the same area prevented injury of adjacent tissue and thus reduced the risk of recurrence.
