Abstract
OBJECTIVE: In the present report, we describe the use of narrow band imaging during video-laryngomicrosurgery for laryngeal papillomatosis. CASE REPORT: It is difficult to peri-operatively locate all the superficial papillomatous lesions when the disease is widespread, which then results in tumor recurrence. Therefore, we have constructed a narrow band imaging video-laryngomicrosurgery system, which we have used for two cases of laryngeal papillomatosis. CONCLUSION: Our narrow band imaging-assisted video-laryngomicrosurgery system to visualise superficial laryngeal papillomatosis more clearly.
