Abstract
Results of laser treatment of 15 adults with multiple recurrent laryngeal papilloma are reviewed. The pathology in all cases was benign and typical of juvenile recurrent papilloma. The laser is a precise tool in their therapy but is not curative. In 8 patients where complete remission has been achieved, the mean number of laser treatments was 5.3. The social and economic effects of papilloma and their treatment are discussed, from the standpoint of multiple hospitalization, threatened loss of employment, lack of promotion caused by poor voice, and handicap at home.
