Partial endoscopic excision of obstructing laryngeal carcinoma with the CO2 laser is an alternative to emergency tracheotomy or emergency laryngectomy whenever the airway control can be initially ensured by endotracheal intubation. The practical advantages of this approach are elimination of the septic complications of tracheotomy, the opportunity for planned preoperative chemotherapy or radiation therapy, and better nutritional and psychologic preparation of the patient for surgery.
