Summary
A 24-year-old male professional recording artist presents to an otolaryngologist with the complaint of hoarseness. On exam he was found to have vocal cord nodules and a laser laryngoscopy was scheduled. This patient has no significant medical history. His surgical history is significant for a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy as a child under general anesthesia without any complications. What type of laser may be used? What safety precautions will be necessary in the operating room?
