We describe a new technique for removing anterior vocal fold lesions, which cannot be visualized with conventional suspension laryngoscopy. These situations are rare and the only alternative surgeons have had previously is an open laryngeal procedure. The technique we describe involves the use of a laryngeal mask airway (LMA), a flexible bronchoscope with biopsy channel, a 400 microm laser fibre and KTP/532 nm laser. This method was used to treat two patients in whom conventional suspension laryngoscopy had previously been attempted and abandoned.
