Although carbon dioxide laser therapy has been the preferred treatment for laryngeal papillomatosis for the past 10 to 15 years, only one major study has been published on the effect of laser surgery on the course of this disease. This report presents 46 patients who were treated by laser microlaryngoscopy during a 7(1/2) year period at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Among the 37 patients with adequate follow-up, 13 (35%) have gone into remission. The remission rate was 69% among patients who had exhibited laryngeal papillomatosis for 5 years or less, compared with a 10% remission rate in patients who had the disease for more than 5 years. None of the patients went Into remission at puberty.

Laryngeal papillomas may present in a variety of ways; hoarseness and stridor are indications of severe disease. This disease is of varying severity in each patient, and treatment is typically by serial laser resection of papillomas until they eventually stop recurring. Anesthetic management of a patient for resection of these airway papillomas is challenging in that a deep plane of anesthetic that will allow the surgeon to work in the airway is necessary. Laser surgery for papillomas is a risk for fire in the airway, and adequate precautions must be taken to ensure this does not occur. This chapter presents a case study of a 2-year-old by with a history of laryngeal papillomatosis to illustrate.
