Laser Surgery For Oral/Laryngeal Cancers

Laser Surgery For Oral/Laryngeal Cancers

Laser surgery is a minimally invasive and precise technique used in the treatment of oral and laryngeal cancers. This approach involves the use of a laser beam to cut or vaporize cancerous tissue, offering several benefits such as reduced bleeding, minimal damage to surrounding healthy tissue, and a faster recovery compared to traditional surgical methods.

In oral cancers, laser surgery can be employed to remove tumors from the lips, tongue, or inner cheek. For laryngeal cancers, it can be used to target tumors in the voice box or surrounding areas. The procedure is often performed through an endoscope, a flexible tube with a camera and a laser fiber.

Laser surgery for oral and laryngeal cancers is particularly advantageous for small and superficial lesions. It may also be used in conjunction with other treatment modalities, such as radiation or chemotherapy. While not suitable for all cases, laser surgery exemplifies the ongoing advancements in medical technology, offering a less invasive option for certain individuals facing head and neck cancers.
