Abstract

Transoral Laser surgery has been the standard of management for upper aerodigestive tract lesions. It is an extremely versatile tool for both benign and malignant conditions and can be used for troubleshooting various complicated situations. We present our collective experience of managing more than 300 varied cases in upper aerodigestive tract. We also present a few unusual complex cases which were managed successfully with laser. The gradual evolution and future of transoral surgery and creating the road-map for managing complicated cases are being highlighted.
