The CO2 laser or KTP-532 laser endoscopic cordectomy described in this report is a slight modification of the posterior partial cordectomy proposed by Dennis and Kashima. This technique was used in 18 patients (14 with the CO2 and four with the KTP-532 laser). Prophylactic tracheostomy was performed preoperatively. Post-operative results were excellent in nine cases, good in seven cases and poor in two cases who had to remain with a permanent tracheostomy tube with a speaking valve. The main complications noted were the formation of a granuloma (seven cases) and arytenoid oedema (six cases). Revision surgery was performed in the seven cases with granuloma formation and in the two with persistent oedema. The results and the post-operative findings from the use of the two lasers were similar.
