ABSTRACT Significant and new impulses regarding the treatment concept for outpatient phonosurgery on unsedated patients are currently coming from various Anglo-American authors. These "office-based procedures" have been propagated as an alternative to many conventional surgical interventions under anesthesia. The main reason for this remarkable development is the use of new endoscopic techniques in com bination with photoangiolytic laser (KTP and blue laser), which allow safe and efficient phonosurgical procedures. Patient acceptance is high since outpatient procedures are considered to have a lower surgical risk. Despite the widespread euphoria, there is a lack of studies evaluating the medical decision criteria and safety management of office-based laryngeal surgery.
