Office-based KTP laser laryngeal surgery is suitable for patients who have difficulty undergoing general anesthesia or for whom it is not an option. It can also be offered as an alternative to patients who have a reluctance toward general anesthesia. This case involves a 50-year-old female who underwent general anesthesia surgery for a vocal fold polyp 4 years ago. The vocal fold polyp recurred, causing persistent hoarseness that significantly impacted her profession. The patient was unwilling to undergo second general anesthesia procedure. Therefore, office-based KTP laser laryngeal surgery was performed under local anesthesia. The patient has remained free of recurrence for 6 months post-surgery. In cases where vocal fold polyps recur after surgery, it may be beneficial to consider local anesthesia surgery, depending on the size of the lesion and the patient’s condition. KCI Citation Count: 0
