Abstract

10 patients with vocal cord polyps treated by the Ho:YAG laser were reported with cure rate of 100 percent and no recurrence. The Ho:YAG laser vaporized the polyps tissue with non bleeding during operation, and mild postoperatively in vocal cord. The hoarseness caused by vocal cord edema would disappeared within one week. During one year of our follow-up, no residual or recurrent cases were found. All patients acquired hormonal voice quality.
