- Abstract
<bold>Objectives/hypothesis: </bold>Many laryngopharyngeal disorders are effectively managed in the office. Herein, an in-office method utilizing the 532-nm potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) laser for the treatment of benign laryngeal and vallecular mucoceles is described.<bold>Study Design: </bold>Retrospective case review.<bold>Methods: </bold>A review was performed of patients who had their vallecular or laryngeal mucoceles marsupialized in the office using KTP laser.<bold>Results: </bold>Outcomes included long-term follow-up laryngoscopy for evidence of recurrence, significant intraprocedural complications, tolerance of the procedure, final pathology of the specimen, and resolution of symptoms.<bold>Conclusions: </bold>In-office KTP marsupialization of laryngeal and vallecular mucoceles is effective and well tolerated, with no episodes of recurrence to date.<bold>Level Of Evidence: </bold>4.
