Exoscopic Transoral Supraglottic Laryngectomy
This article, accompanied by technical notes and video, presents a case of an 85-year-old patient with a cT2N0 laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma treated using CO<sub>2</sub> transoral laser exoscopic surgery (TOLES). The procedure achieved en bloc tumor removal with negative margins, preserving laryngeal and swallowing functions, demonstrating TOLES as a viable alternative to traditional microsurgery with enhanced visualization and ergonomics.
