Abstract
Benign laryngeal lesions are often the result of phonotraumatic forces on the vocal folds and thus classically are treated with a combination of voice therapy and phonomicrosurgical techniques to minimize inadvertent additional trauma. Newer management strategies expand on these techniques with the use of the pKTP laser as well as intralesional injections, both in the operating room and in the awake outpatient setting.
