<p>Microlaryngeal surgery is of great importance in benign larynx diseases because of both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Although it is mostly a safe surgery, because of the surgery involving the upper airways and serious complications that may occur, Anesthesiologists as well as Otorhinolaryngologists should be careful. The risk of difficult intubation may be determined by pre-operative evaluation and tests to be performed and necessary precautions can be taken in advance. Interventions to ensure adequate exposition of the larynx provide great comfort in surgery. For a successful operation, it is essential to pay attention to many important points preoperatively, intraoperatively and postoperatively. The aim of this paper is to define the basic principles of microlaryngeal surgery in benign larynx lesions to increase the operation success and diminish the complication rates in the light of current literature. </p>
