Leukoplakia of the right vocal fold. Cordectomy type I

This case shows the leukoplakia of the right vocal fold. Cordectomy typ I was performed to excise the lesion. Cotton swab was used to secure the intubation tube. In the first stage, using a laser, we mark the resection margin, then we remove only the epithelium of the vocal fold, preserving the deeper layers, such as the vocal ligament or the vocal muscle.
