Combined Open Surgery and CO Laser for Giant Supraglottic Hemangioma in an Adult: A Case Report.

Laryngeal hemangiomas are rare vascular tumors, mainly in children, and less common in adults. Giant lesions typically require multiple endoscopic procedures and temporary tracheostomy. Open surgery allows single-procedure removal with fewer complications. CO laser excision controls bleeding and minimizes tissue damage. This study evaluates this hybrid approach to manage adult giant supraglottic hemangiomas. A 54-year-old woman with a giant supraglottic hemangioma was successfully treated using a combination of open surgery and CO laser. Limited data on adult laryngeal hemangiomas result in a lack of established treatment protocols. For giant supraglottic hemangiomas, combining open surgery with CO laser resection offers distinct advantages: enhanced lesion visibility, optimal airway control, effective hemostasis, reduced tissue damage, and lower recurrence rates. This hybrid approach also supports rapid recovery and favorable clinical outcomes. Combining open surgical excision with CO laser is effective for managing giant supraglottic hemangiomas in adults.
