Microsurgical and laser-assisted laryngeal procedures for vocal cord polyps, nodules, papillomas, early glottic cancer, and laryngeal stenosis. Chinese voice centers utilize CO2 laser, KTP laser, and microlaryngoscopic instruments for precise tissue treatment while preserving voice function. Transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) for early laryngeal cancer offers cure rates comparable to radiation while preserving the larynx.
