title: A new laser-laryngoscope coupler.
abstract: A new generation of laser surgery of the larynx is possible with this laser-laryngoscopic coupler. The applications are numerous. The surgeon can custom-tailor his working environment rather than stretching himself to the demands of the equipment and can adjust the laser to meet the surgical needs of the patient's disease. No longer must large quantities of tissue be ablated. Fine incisions can be made, pathologic margins can be more clearly examined, and smaller lesions can be treated and biopsied with increased tissue conservation and precision.
