The introduction of the CO2-laser has led to considerable progress in the technique of endolaryngeal microsurgical resection of laryngeal tumours of stage T i. s. to T2. As compared with conventional therapy (surgery and/or radiotherapy) microsurgical resection with the laser beam is a relatively small operation with a considerably reduced treatment time. Up to now the long-term results, as well as the results of postoperative voice rehabilitation, are equal to those obtained with conventional therapeutic techniques.
