Abstract
Introduction: Early glottic carcinoma is mostly and traditionally treated with radiotherapy. A total of 60-70 Grays dose is prescribed aiming for curative intent. Delivery of this regime would require the patient to come to the radiation therapy unit, daily for consecutive 7 weeks. This will impose some logistic issues to the patients.
Methods: A review of medical records. Results: A 73-year-old male smoker presented with hoarseness later was diagnosed to have glottic carcinoma. The alternative laser cordectomy treatment for glottic carcinoma has made this problem easily encountered. Besides that, laser treatment also is superior in terms of fewer complications in experts' hands. Currently the treatment for early glottic carcinoma with a micro margin gains its popularity in many centers in the world.
Conclusion: The detailed technique of laser resection with the prior understanding of pathology of the disease, vocal fold microstructure and physiology of laser itself is a salient requirement before proceeding to the actual surgical procedure.
