We present two simple techniques for intraoperative laryngeal photography. New developments in high-intensity flash units coupled to recently developed high-quality optical telescopes or through a new fiberoptic light guide to an operating microscope have made this possible. Either method makes high-quality documentation of intraoperative laryngeal procedures a convenient routine operation. We describe the instruments, the techniques, and the past literature leading to these results.
