Overview
Surgical options
- In cases of failed medical therapy, surgical removal often becomes necessary.
- Blockage of the airway will often require a tracheostomy to be performed (insertion of an external airway through the front of the neck into the trachea below the level of the obstruction).
- Sometimes pulsed dye laser can be used to accelerate healing of ulceration.
