Recently, conservative and bloodless operative procedures have been focused, so that endoscopic laser have been used. However application of endoscopic laser surgery for laryngeal lesion is capable for followings: (1)capability of delivery through an operating microscope, (2) vaporization of ultraspot. $CO_2$ laser which has been used, has limitations for voice improvement because of 700 micron beam spot. KTP-532 laser which is capable of delivery through an operating microscope vapore 200 micron ultraspot has developed and applied to microlaryngeal surgery. We have experienced 60 cases who were contracted with hoarseness(53 cases of benign lesions vocal nodule 13, vocal polyp 13, bilateral diffuse polyposis of vocal cords 11, intracordal cyst 8, vocal papilloma 5, laryngocele 1, laryngeal stenosis 2 and 7 cases of malignant lesions : laryngeal carcinoma stage I and II) since 1991. We operated them with KTP-532 Laserscope(3 Watt/0.05 sec., pulsed or continuous. San Jose, Calif, USA). Forty eigh cases(90.6%) of 53 bengin laryngeal lesions and 4 cases(57.1%) of malignant lesions were significantly improved in their voices. There were a few complications and technical problems, but laser surgery alone had a limitation to eradicate the disease.
