Paper Abstract
Laryngomalacia is the most common cause of newborn stridor. Management can usually be accomplished without surgery. When surgery is necessary, the carbon dioxide (CO2) laser plays an essential role in enabling precise, hemostatic dissection. The authors present their application of the CO2 laser with microspot control for laser correction of laryngomalacia, with emphasis upon the use of the Boston University suspension system to achieve external suspension of the larynx and the bivalved laryngoscope to achieve tissue distension. Review of indications, technique and results is shared to detail the utility of the CO2 laser in supraglottoplasty.
