title: [Vocal function after laser therapy].
abstract: A prospective study of vocal function was undertaken before and after CO2-laser surgery for benign tumors and lesions of the larynx: 50 patients with polyps, Reinke's oedema's, leukoplakia etc. were investigated and controlled phoniatrically, including indirect microlaryngoscopy and microstroboscopy. 3 investigators rated the results independently. Laser surgery can minimise tissue damage, as demonstrated by good restoration of vocal function.
