Only 25 years ago, laryngology and laryngeal surgery mainly dealt with life threatening conditions of the larynx, particularly those related to airway obstruction and laryngeal cancer. Endoscopic biopsies for diagnostic purposes, open laryngeal surgery to resect laryngeal tumours and tracheotomy for airway relief were the principal laryngeal procedures at most Ear, Nose and Throat departments throughout Europe and the world.
