Abstract

Laryngomalacia is the most frequent congenital laryngeal anomaly. Surgery is possible by means of cold knife, carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub> ) laser, microdebrider and coblation, traditionally under microscopic view. We here describe the use of the 3D-4K exoscope assisted CO<sub>2</sub> laser supraglottoplasty in tubeless general anesthesia in spontaneous breathing in a 5 month-old patient with severe laryngomalacia. Laryngoscope, 134:1359-1362, 2024.
