title: [What can be expected of the endolaryngeal use of the neodymium-YAG laser as a treatment method?].
abstract: A short review of experiences in animal usage is made, and the first clinical experiences with the endolaryngeal application of the Neodymium: YAG laser MediLas in the treatment of benign vocal cord lesions are reported. The initial results are favourable, but final judgement of this microsurgical technique must be based upon a larger number of patients and a longer follow-up.
