Abstract

This paper gives a detailed description of a method for biopsy and Nd-YAG laser ablation, of laryngeal lesions, using the trans-nasal flexible laryngo-oesophagoscope, under local anaesthetic. This method is suitable for those patients in whom it is difficult, impossible or hazardous to perform a rigid endoscopy.
