Under the microscope, the laser gradually removes the cancer layer by layer until healthy tissue is reached. This allows for maximum preservation of normal, healthy vocal cord tissue and can be an effective alternative to standard radiation therapy.
Head and neck disorders are well suited for minimally invasive approaches. Many procedures can be performed through natural openings in the ear, nasal and throat passages, which offer an entryway for the sophisticated, thin instruments used in these procedures. These types of procedures result in less tissue damage, a faster recovery, less pain and less scarring than surgeries performed through open incisions. Some minimally invasive ENT procedures require small external incisions, but our specialists work to keep scarring to a minimum.
