2.      Put the fiber into ENT handpiece. Setting parameters, with output power of 5w, the scope of a small white spot of the lesion, continuous noncontact exposure to disease solidification and vaporization; to a larger extent of the lesion, basement uplift of the lesion, continuous contact with radiation, the first noncontact exposure, is vaporized.

3.      After intravenous infusion or oral antibiotics, hormones three days.

Advantage:

1.      Diode laser can be completed the role of vaporization and coagulation at the same time with vocal cords diseases.
