Abstract

A 45-year-old Korean male with laryngotracheal papilloma was treated using a 532-nm diode laser at six watts with a pulse width of 25 milliseconds. Two months after the laser treatment, the resected region was well-healed without significant scar contracture. This outcome suggests that a 532-nm diode laser can be a safe and effective treatment for laryngotracheal papilloma.
