Excision of benign laryngeal lesions: comparison of carbon dioxide laser with conventional surgery.
Twenty-six cases of patients presenting with benign laryngeal lesions treated by laser excision were compared with age and sex matched controls treated by conventional surgery. There was no statistically significant difference post-operatively between the groups in analgesic requirement, length of hospital stay, voice quality or laryngoscopic appearance.
