Abstract:
Vocal cord polyps are generally removed using a direct laryngoscope and surgical microscope. In some case of laryngeal microsurgery, laryngeal exposure with surgical microscope is difficult because of severalfactors. We experienced a case of vocal polyp with difficult laryngeal exposure in a 56 year old male patient. The vocal cord polyp was removed successfully through endoscopic approach.
