Laryngeal cancers form a major bulk of head and neck malignancies. If diagnosed early, the aggressive management can offer good cure rates and prognosis. Endoscopic excision is a viable alternative to radiation therapy along with its predictable consequences and complications. The author describes the usage of classical phonosurgery techniques in endoscopic extirpation of early laryngeal cancers.
